I’ve had my 2018 50th Anniversary for two years now ,it’s done just over 20,000 miles . No real problems just the occasional warning light that turned out to be nothing ..
Damaged a Road wheel but they are not available from the factory now. A new front wing would cost £1800 plus vat , plus shipping , fitting and painting . So don’t bend it .
Hood release cable broke due to rust , cheap but not very handy to replace .
Mine is an Automatic so super easy to drive .
The standard suspension is harsh and unforgiving , I fitted SSL a year ago and it has transformed the ride and handling .
I do tend to soak all the exposed electrical connectors under the car with wax oil and grease so fingers crossed no electrical gremlins .
. The reason for buying a later mk5 chassis car was road tax ,mine is now £190 per year .. not £700 ,Insurance was also better than expected ,only £50 more than my roadster and no tracker needed . Far cheaper than a Plus Six
All in all a great car but be gentle with the throttle in wet or damp conditions ,it does like to go sideways .
