Head gasket at 150,000 miles.
Entire AC system over five years.
Alternator.
This car nickels and dimes me for $1500 to $2000 every year. It's a great looking car and no finer convertible is made. It is a very low performance vehicle: the turbo is sluggish.
The car has never broken down but needs some attention every couple of months. The car has 200,000 and still runs strong. The bottom end of these engines last forever. I am still on the original turbo.
The main problem for bad performance is the 3 speed automatic transmission.
The 5 speed models are very quick!
Why would you buy an automatic in the first place?
