I'm following this thread like a hawk. luckily for me the initial investment is not a problem, but the maintenance time, cost and frustration is a big variable.
and frankly in a way repetitive maintenance and issues would question the initial investment too.
the car is great but factoring these matters in the equation, i wonder if it is worth 40+k EUROS.
it's a very materialistic approach but one thing is spending time at will enjoying a fun ride, another is having to spend weekends driving behind a towtruck and calling up mechanics to get updates while hoping they know what to do is right.
and now im reading about all these fuel pump issues too ?
eishh
Remember it is the very nature of forums to only highlight problems and bad news. For every problem there are many cars that have done 1000's of trouble free miles.
