- I'm sorry you had such a bad experience. And I would like to encourage
- everyone reading to never buy a Sterling product as long as they live (or
- at least until the new MG's are introduced in the US).
-
- 'Cos my family has had three of them with nothing but good times. Our friends
- have bought similar ones and never enjoyed a car more.
-
- Everyone has lemons. Maybe Sterling had more than their share. Maybe not.
- But you gotta love the price these days :-)
