General comments?
Powerful and comfortable, but not reliable at all... I love this vehicle, the engine really kick ass, but... VERY HIGH COST MAINTENANCE, Even a jaguar is less than that. Forgot all other said and listen.. the engine MUST have a good SYNTHETIC oil like castrol. I put 5w50 and still run like a new and do not have, even the smallest oil leak. The alternator is mount on the crazies place it can be, it take at least 3 and half hours to change it. I really don't know what engineer's think to locate this vital part at the hot'ess place on the car, they has virtually no air to cold it. And time to replace it$$$$$.
And now... WHAT in going to broke this week...
... but if is only highway you do and not just city (Montreal) like me. This car maybe more reliable.
If someone interresed...
