 I bought this at 137k miles so some of the well known problems/maintenance had been performed already.It now has 145k miles and I really like it!superb all weather traction/capability, comfortable, quiet and powerfulSince this is a 6 spd manual car, no troublesome auto tranny issues, but will need a clutch b4 long, Needs both front cv axles replaced (normal wear item), and some oil leaks fixed.  Not as solid build quality as I'd thought it would be, several plastic breaking issues. I think this is a great USED car buy IF....proper maintenance has performed and you don't take it to theDEALER, get good independent mechanic.Update: 159k. More oil leaks repaired, expensive hoses($180), windshield( normal wear), brakes, water pump, thermostat (caused overheating ).   Still like the cars capabilities, should be past most wear items for a while ( only paid 8% of original purchase price ).  Great performance after computer remapping ( 'chip'), definitely worth it.
