I've been reading more and more discouraging news on the site lately mostly related to the stumble and overheating. It leads me to a question.

How many owners on here have needed a flatbed or needed to nurse a car along at very slow speeds?

This is beginning to worry me. I have my MCS coming in August and one of my friends is getting her MC a week or two before me. Minute problems here and there are one thing. That's part of the deal. But dead on the road with a new car is unacceptable. I hope the problem just appears to be exagerrated on here.

Chill.

There are some very definite problems with certain cars and systems. But as you hopefully know, there is no reason to panic and no reason to assume that your car will break down.

Things related to the "stumble" by no means require towing. Sure, they're annoying, but hardly fully disabling.
