What things have gone wrong with the car?

Heater flap motor and new starter motor brushes.

General comments?

Best handling front wheel drive car I have driven, even faster with a powerchip on premium unleaded than our crap normal unleaded fuel.

I have had it 3 years now, it's a very strong car and it's still going like new.

Only real problem is the service I used to get from my dealer, they used to do a poor job and tried to rob me once saying the car needed a new knock sensor when it obviously only needed a new fuel filter, saving me $250 (how many people do you think they do that to).

I think mechanics here do that a lot of the time. Many times have I had it that I was told I needed something replaced, only to get a second opinion somewhere else, where it wasn't even mentioned.

I think this happens all over the world. Even in Malta, being a car dealer I face many of this kind of problem myself. I think the solution is that you need to get to know in general what your car consists of so that you tell your mechanic what to do, not him telling you. If he sees you do not know anything about cars he will charge you a lot because he will convince you that he has worked a lot.
