I bought that reader as my car is getting older. It save me money within couple months. The cost of getting one read at the dealer is the cost of this device (at least when I bought it).
I carry it in the glove box on vacation. Last year, my truck engine start stumbling north of Lake superior in the middle of nowhere(also towing the RV). We stopped on side, I plugged it in, it said misfire cylinder #5. So I replaced the spark plug with a spare one and we were good for the rest of the vacation. Took 20min out of our vacation. If I did not have the device, it would have possibly cost 1000's $ (towing and all) + time loss on vacation.
On top off that, my friends know I have it so when they need a code read they stop by, bring a six pack of beer and we check it out. So it's a great socializing tool ! It force you to see your friends more often and make everybody happy.
Regarding the device itself, it has a lot of fonctions, most of them I haven't used yet. But so far no issue using it, it's very simple. I've been using it for 2 years.
