Replaced couple light bulbs.
Replaced alternator at 45,000 miles (under warranty)
That is it!
Best car I have ever driven. I will drive nothing else again... Solid manufacturing, great styling, handling. I have gotten couple of speeding tickets however since it is so smooth at high speeds.
I have driven the automatic on the 520s series and it felt underpowered. I prefer the stick.
I also drive in snow a lot in Wisconsin and can be a challenge. Recommend snow tires in the winter.
I am an avid golfer and trunk space is limited. No more than 2 golf bags realistically.
If you want sports with luxury at a reasonable price, this car is it.
I agree with the writer, and have the same car, now with about 105,000 miles. It combines tremendous sportiness and a luxury ride, without giving up any handling characteristics. As far as repairs, only the usual maintenance, with the exception of replacing two wheel bearings.
An additional benefit - it gets great gas mileage. On the highway - over 30 mpg. Near home - around 27. Not bad given the performance. I have a 5 speed, as well.
