I, too, have spent many an hour on Planet9 and that thread in particular. In fact, I was just on that thread before I came to check new posts here. I totally agree with what you've written. While the site (along with this one) has been helpful in my research on the 718 as I head to a decision on my next car, it is exhausting to read all the negativity. I get the "If you don't like it, you don't have to read it." concept, but geez the negativity seems over the top. I imagine it was the same during the time the air cooled / water cooled debate raged.
As it is I spend entirely too much time on these forums anyway. I keep hoping this forum will become more active as more 718 owners collect their cars and want to talk about them. Even if I end up choosing something other than the 718 I'll still probably check in from time to time just because I love car forums. I'll probably still wander around Planet9 also.
