The powertrain is great, but the interior quality is below average. Mine started falling apart after 3 years or so (sunroof switch came out of the headliner, silver trim paint worn away in plenty of places, some HVAC lights stopped working). Also, my sunroof rattles like crazy (open or closed) and it’s really fucking annoying. When you drive the car hard, you will forget about all that. heh ---
