Nice looking, but not reliable...
I bought the car as it has dynamic styling, both inside and out and the performance & handling were above par as well. As I have put on more mileage though, the reliability has been less than stellar. My particular 2011 model was assembled in Germany. I have been recalled for a number of fixes to rectify issues with cold start rattling in the engine, problems with the oil monitoring system, and selonoid issues. I have also had the passenger side taillight assembly replaced twice for building internal condensation and a blown bulb, and now the driver's side taillight assembly is filling up as well. The thermostat malfunctioned and had to be replaced at 50,000 km (high engine heat warning). Now the driver's side rear brake caliper has seized (59,000 km) which has destroyed the pads and rotor on that side. Nice looking car, but think twice about reliability!! I'm unloading this one before the 80,000 km warranty expires and buying a Honda!
