Obviously only one anecdote, but I've heard the same as what burn_this_city mentioned. My wife was briefly interested in one for us, but it didn't take much research for me to be turned off. Expect 80s minivan level of fit and finish if you go this way, and I also ran into a lot of horror stories about getting them serviced (but this is probably true of every brand if you dig).
