Almost a year. The engine sure sounds rough, but so far no repairs, just oil changes. Yeah sure, I've had to fix plenty of little things, rattles leaks ect. Just old car stuff, nothing major. I like the way the VN steers, feels, looks, even if it isnt the greatest handling car on the planet. Its big, comfortable, easy to drive (no need to "plan" for hills like in your ricey cars) Quality of the car could be better in a few areas, but overall I think these things are pretty durable. The VE might tempt me, but I don't have $40,000 lol.
