In summary, the car is actually quite reliable considering that it has not given me any major issues for a 10 year old car except for a few wear and tear as listed below done for my car:-1. Lower arm (2 pieces) per side required replacement due to worn rubber bushes2. Oil leaks from the valve cover, valvetronic and oil pan gasket. All 3 replaced at different occasions.3. Speed/ABS sensor would also fail eventually where you will see all warning lights popping up at your instrument panel. So far 3 out of the 4 original sensors were replaced as I only replace the faulty ones upon failure.4. M Sport Absorbers seems to have a short service life. Changed mine to Sach brand but front starting to show signs of wear again after 20k - 30k KM of use.5. Oil filter housing gaskets.6. Radiator leak and water pump failure. Besides the above, my car has not given me any other issues apart from the regular interval maintenance i.e. Engine Oil 5W-40 Fully (10,000KM), Gear Oil (40,000KM), Brake oil (every 2 years) and differential oil (so far I only changed once at 90,000 KM). Next on my list would be the spark plugs, disc brake pad and rotors that I would like to change during my service in December'21.Generally the car is great to drive with superb handling coupled with the smooth revving inline 6 NA engine which is the highlight of this model. However, the M Sport suspension is not that suitable for bad road conditions due to its firm and low ride. The tires are also not cheap considering the 18 inch staggered set up (I'm currently using the stock rim with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 for all sides).</blockquote>
