"High performance, but discreet car"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Nothing so far.

General comments?

Great engine. The 4 wheel drive glues the car on the road. Acceleration is very powerful. Torque is high with that kind of V6 engine. The engine is tuned to rev high though the noise is vert moderate compared to a tuned 4 cylinders.

The car is confortable and the upgraded suspension are smooth and firm at the same time.

The Recaro seats are excellent and offer a good lumbar support. The clutch might be a little hard, but the gear stick offers noisless gear changes without vibrations. (cable driven system)

June 2005.

Still love the car. It had a small problem with the gear box which was noisy when changing gears. No mechanical issue here, but just a plastic noise. This was fixed.

The 4 wheel drive seems were disabled twice due to some electrical faults.

Strangely the gear change is smoother when the 'haldex' 4 wheel drive is disabled.

Fuel consumption cab be as low as 43 mpg and as high as 23 mpg depending on driving style!
