Drive train error every other day.

Stalled on road while driving multiple times, litterly shut down and come back on it own.

Service center couldn’t find anything other than updating software.
In that case depending on how long you keep the car, a 40i may give you peace of mind for long-term ownership due to less complexity under the hood, of course you can always get a lemon regardless of car, but hopefully they have improved the hybrid system and either way you go you have some good luck.

Porsche's E-Hybrid technology in the Cayenne seems pretty good, but not as efficient, could also be an interesting choice.
