"Excellent if you are lucky"
What things have gone wrong with the car?

- Rust around the sun roof.
- Brake pads & discs, more than normal in other cars.
- "O" ring on the turbo oil return line.
- Spark plug coils,
General comments?

- Parts are very expensive and I am always waiting for the "next" thing. Fortunately, I do all the repairs myself
-Up side.
It handles excellent, comfortable and great sound system for long trip at work.
