Reply #75: I've had good luck.... [View All]

I owned the 1.8 turbo sedan from 01-04. Put 75k on it, and had 1 issue (coolant reservoir leak - covered under warranty).

Got the 04 wagon late last year, which has been flawless. I am much happier to own a V6 car - I think it will last longer than the 1.8 turbo driven 4 cylinder

I will tell you that we got rear ended in the sedan while at a dead stop by a pickup truck. Completely demolished the back of the car. My wife and I were unhurt in the accident.

As far as build quality, ride quality, safety, fit and finish, it's a tremendous car. I am partial to the German approach to vehicle building, though. VW owns Audi.

Once you drive one, it will ruin Subarus and Saturns for you.
