Search is your friend. So hello!

Steering lock failure - is annoying your search will show that
Oil burning - another annoying issue for some
Clutch - another search will bring that up as an issue for some
Oil temp - another annoyance for some with cures and opinions

Overall just enjoy the site and learn what the trends have been for some here. Its a car and its a good one. Issues can be found of course.

My experience so far has been great. 2010 with 15,000 miles and it gets put to good and powerful use here in Germany. US model.

Test drive more than 1 and do not buy without sleeping on it and verify what maintenance records you can. Good luck.

I'd like to know if any of the manual transmission failures can be traced to people using the GL-5 oils rather than the GL-4. Seams like there was confusion early on in the community that may have lead to people using the wrong type of oil. Anyone who's had tranny problems that's done all thier own work willing to comment? (if you've had a shop do you wouldn't know for sure what they put in it)
