Great car if you maintain

I bought my car three years ago. I am very impressed with the smoothness of the drive, reliability, and features. With over 170,000 miles, primarily maintenance items only. Are dealers in repair shops will try to charge more based on the vehicle, but maintenance is quite easy and inexpensive if you do them yourself. It is important to regularly change the oil and filter every 5000 to 7500 miles to keep it operating smoothly. Only non-maintenance repairs include front CV shafts ($160), Control Arm ($110) and Fuel Pump ($140) which I found videos on YouTube and completed within two hours each. Regular oil and filter changes ($30) take 15 minutes and very easy to access. If you don’t mind doing the work yourself, the car is inexpensive to keep and maintain, gets good gas mileage (28mpg), drives excellent, and looks great.

Worst car I have ever purchased “SCAM”

I purchased a vehicle at topline and as soon as I hit the drive way I got error message on the screen , they never fixed the problem and always had me on a wild goose chase. This is the example of the salesperson you never want to meet Stay away!

Best handling car I have ever owned.

This car is fun to drive and satisfies all of my requirements for a quality used car. It is a great looking car and the 4 cylinder turbo engine has plenty of power.

German luxury without a scratch or hiccup.

The only average thing about this car is the stereo. Everything else is cherry. Smooth ride with sporty flair and sharp enough to still turn heads.
