Re: Reliability?
Mine is hitting 30 klms or around 18 miles and is terrific. Had the noisy spoiler which was easily fixed and I had a noise in the ECU box when cold starting. It was the electric ECU cooling fan which was replaced by DC, noise gone.
To sum it up, very dependable and I drive it in the -30 Canadian winters!
PS. I love the 6 speed manual although a speed shift from 1st to 2nd isn't possible, you have to give it a fraction of a second to clear the gate. 0-60 mph times are around 6.8 sec.
