A radiator hose blew, therefore draining the coolant out in a short period of time. This in turn blew the head gasket as well as warping and cracking the head.
The hydraulic valve lifters all needed replacing within 2000km as all were cracked and not operating.
The constant velocity joints have begun to click and are about to be replaced.
The automatic trans-axle has began to malfunction, with no reverse gear and squealing noises are evident when changing up gears.
The car is a joy to drive. It is smooth, handles exceptionally well and is comfortable to ride in.
The engine always starts and drives well, even when cold although the automatic could be a lot better.
I am the author of this review, and I'd just like to say that only 2 months after writing the review the trans axle imploded. $3000 later and a new trans axle later, the car was fine. Be very, very careful of transmissions that are slow to change. Otherwise the Magna was fine and I just traded it on a new magna sports.
