Pros: problem was fixed

Cons: replacing battery often

I have a 2013 manual. I've had to put 3 or 4 alternators in mine. The last one literally lasted a year, luckily it was still under warranty, and I only had to pay for the labor to have it changed out.

Pros: under warranty

Cons: alternators expensive

Vehicle: Honda Fit

Wouldn\u2019t recommend unless you like spending your time on the side of the road or at the dealer. Mine just went back to my local dealer today for its 4th alternator in 32k total miles, 3rd one in the last 6 months. Literally just got the car back 5 days ago for the same issue.

Pros: Fun to drive

Cons: unreliable, frequent alternator issues

Vehicle: Audi

Mileage: 51500 km

Die neueren Generatoren sind heute noch Müll (Haltbarkeit). Musste ich erst in meinem A6 erleben (der zu meinem Glück noch auf Garantie ging). Im RS6 gehen die Dinger auch am laufenden Band flöten.

Cons: schlechte Haltbarkeit, häufige Ausfälle

Vehicle: Audi A6
