Both rear shocks needed replacing.
Rear wheel bearing needed replacing.
This car is worlds ahead of the American car industry. I have owned a 2001 Chevy Venture with all the options and Audi still had more, and they all worked. I drove the car harder than some people and never failed me. Anti-lock brakes made a springy sound and had a fail-safe feature. The car feels very mechanical and responsive. You could feel the g's around tight corners with no body roll. Winter driving is another story as the rear tires, I guess were the primary drive wheels with the front being secondary. When my wife got stuck in deep snow, a twist of a dial and it went into 4 wheel mode, locking both axels. Walked right out of the snow as if it was on concrete. Heated seats and a sunroof, best for both climates. This car seems to be one of a kind which makes me wonder why galvinized body panels aren't standard on all vehicles.
You're comparing a sports/sedan car to a van? Seems very fair to me... lol.
