Well, goodness me. I certainly didn't mean to start a civil war here.

Very true. I really do love my Volvo, and part of what I love about it
is its reliability. We drive the thing hard, all the time, and it never
has quit in 275k miles. It starts when it's hot; it starts when it's
cold; it always has been eminently driveable.
What I dislike about the situation is the "repair requires replacement"
mentality. When my only option is to replace the faulty sensor, AND the
faulty sensor costs $300, that's a big problem for me.
I really do enjoy the reliability and accuracy that EFI systems provide.
What I don't enjoy is paying for sensor failures.
