Love my Aero S3 to bits, and it's been basically very reliable once the 'fettling' was done (this was actually rather a pain but it was a few years ago now...)

Only problems I've had are water and fluid leaks that don't ever seem to get quite sorted despite quite big bills!

Car seems to be going better and better and I love the handling and of course the noise.

Recently I've had some bubbling under paint especially round rear lights and on trailing edge of rear wheel arches. 2007 car. This is about to be sorted out I hope. I've seen similar on others.

Overall I love the car and it always feels special.
