[QUOTE="nazrie, post: 312168, member: 636"] so , if u wanna get one , get one from year 2004 onwards ..most of the problems were addressed then. so that u dont get a lemon since i doubt there's warranty coverage .. unless u r buying new lah ... then i'd say GO FOR IT BRO!! DARN GREAT CAR!! listen to your heart and your body ...if it says the car is comfy or not :) watch out for the electronics , check if they have latest software update , check the front windows movement(any slight misalignment or not----it's a precursor to failure) .. and check the ABSORBERS .. if it has hit any big holes or anything like that , u cant really feel the damage coz it is so comfy .. until it is jacked up and physically checked .. IT COSTs A BOMB .. maybe u better check how much are the absorbers r now...maybe the price has gone down ... ELECTRONICS bro!!! On this car u can change the damper settings on the fly and it is really great .. u can really feel the difference .. put it into sports mode and just FLYYYY .. comfortably .. Notice the keyword here is everything u do will be in COMFORT!
