Beyond its use as Oldham's device for getting closer to meeting new, rich friends, the SLS has proven itself to be seriously unreliable in comparison to almost every other car in your current fleet, with the possible exception of the Dart.

"When we've had the convertible in the office, though, it seldom sits for long periods of time." That's good, because if it does, the battery goes dead. That's just a minor issue? I find very curious the mindset that in a vehicle that's likely to be a second car, unreliability is more acceptable than in one that's probably an only car. Especially when it's a new, very expensive car.
