I too will refute the "Magnas are no good" thing.
Sure, the first model - TM was not great, and it wasn't until the TR whent he brand really became dependable, and TE when it was seriously a good car.
I know many, many people who have owned Magnas after owning other vehicles such as Toyotas, and they have said that for interior comfort as well as general driving, the car gives them exactly what they want.
They want a car that is reliable. They don't want to break speed records or drift.
From that point of view, the Magna was a great car that had terrible styling at the very end, and a very poor run in the media.
