It does not come with reliability, it comes with a mechanic relationship. Number two, we gotta go with the Jeep Wrangler. It's a fun car until starts making noise like a toolbox that's falling down the stairs. People say it's built for an adventure better apparently the adventure is getting it back home safely. And at number one, you know we had to go with the BMW seven series. This car is a luxury until one warning light turns into your dashboard celebrating Christmas. It's the type of car that makes you feel successful right before it humbles your bank account.
