I`ve had mine since 2008. loved and still love the car to bits and enjoy every minute in it.
I can not agree that the car is a reliable daily driver. I had to get towed at least 10 times in 8 years. thermostat housing cracked 4 times, oil and water leaks every once in a while, fuel pump went, chargecooler pump went etc. etc.
and all this with a mild tune (remap and exhaust / 269PS on the rollers).
until now I did not have any rust issues...but what also bothers me is that the interior wears out really quickly.
