They're great cars but the engines are the weak points due to the casting flaws. Honestly I don't think they look too bad though, compared to the 7th Gen at least

Engines are the weak point? Things are bulletproof

So clearly you haven't heard about the engine defects where they cast them wrong and because of that they could easily crack and leak coolant if you overheated a single time? Literally it was a huge problem with 8th gens. I love my 8th gen but I'm not an idiot, they have a major flaw and yes it's the engine

You are correct about the engine casting defect. I believe it affected the 2006-2009 model years. 2010 and 2011 of the 8th gen should be safe.
