Faults:

Knock on wood, we haven't had anything break since we purchased the vehicle.

General Comments:

This is a great handling car for it's size.

Very comfortable with a smooth ride.

The heat sucks, it takes forever to heat the car and gets cold quickly while driving (not a trivial point here in Alaska).

The 6 cylinder engine provides smooth acceleration and decent fuel economy (24mpg+ highway/15-20city)

The controls inside are well placed and easy to work.

We purchased this car because our last car, a 1992 Jetta, was a cramped tin can with all manner of electrical problems.

I would buy this car again in a heartbeat.

Dealer repairs for foreign cars are obviously not cheap, but then again, we aren't driving a Taurus so it all works out in the end.

Faults:

Air conditioner thermostat is no longer working.

Drivers seat rocks back and forth on its tracks under acceleration.

Rear view mirror does not hold position.

Driver side window auto down works once in a while.

Driver side passenger door light out.

Lights in radio are out.

A few lights in air flow system are out.

Leather seats (front) are wearing quickly.

General Comments:

Although the above items listed seem like a lot, they are more trivial than that of a serious nature.

All in all, this 855 T-5 wagon is a dream to drive.

It's fast, somewhat quiet and very, very comfortable.

Truly a drivers car, the effort required to make this car perform reward the driver and passengers with a real understanding of the term sport-touring vehicle.
