I have had several cars that were 1st or early second year production, with mixed results:
2003 MINI Cooper - many repairs under warranty, which increased after warranty was expired. Dumped it after less than 3 years (bought it used)
2004 RX-8 - some recall work and warranty repairs. Could not stand getting less than 10 MPGs around town and waiting to shut the car off to cool down the rotary. Sold it after 18 months.
2003 Mazda6 (wife's car) - 2 repairs in 9 years, both under warranty.
And now the 2009 370. So far no issues other than a random misfire code a couple of times (and I think I have the hatch release issue).
I'm a sucker for a new model!
