I would assume by this post this person is not an owner of a DeLorean. I 
believe most owners would tell you the car is very reliable. Far more 
reliable in fact than other cars 20 years old. Most car marques have some 
problems when they are first produced. The DeLorean problems are small and 
when addressed the car is extremely reliable. I wouldnt hesitate to drive 
mine across country with no fear of any type of mecahnical problem. First 
research about a DeLorean leads some to believe they are unreliable cars. I 
too thought that when reading about them while planning to buy one. However 
once one understands the cars "minor" quirks and eventually owns one, I am 
sure most would agree the car is very well designed and reliable. There 
wouldnt be DeLoreans around with over 200,000 miles if they werent built 
well.
