Daniel Member 299 Member For: 21y 4m 18d Gender: Male Posted 27/03/10 06:30 AM Share Posted 27/03/10 06:30 AM Ok, I have been right thru the 300 range for some time now and honestly its the maintenance that is the con in my eyes.If you're like me (picky) and want the car to remain tight/quiet/smooth.. get the wallet out as it costs you constantly. Yes you could just follow the service book and fix things as you MUST when they completely fail; but it'd be a pretty fast bucket of **** within 1-2yrs if you drive it everyday like I do.I don't want to think about how much money I have spent on upkeep over the last 9 months.. ill stop now before I scare myself (and maybe others) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can very quickly become a money pit. Once ya start its hard to stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
