I've owned Corvettes Mustang GT BMW's CLK430 in 2000 brand new I'm 48 years old so these are the cars from my time 89 Porsche 928 S4 and my 2005 B6 S4 Cabriolet stands alone!!! I'm in New England and its incredible year round.

The positives of this car are that it's very quiet with the top up, and even surprisingly quiet with the top down, it has great performance, is very comfortable, handles nicely and is fun to drive. The paddle shifters are perfect for mountain driving in Utah. I'd say this car has been the most fun of any car I've owned, and I've owned an Austin Healey 3000, an MGB, and a Morgan among others. The only real negative has been it's reliability. Nothing too major has gone wrong, but about every third time we take it out for a weekend cruise, something else goes wrong. Over the 10,000 miles or so we've put on the car, we've had trouble with the passenger seat airbag connections, O2 sensors, top operation, broken power steering hose, coolant leaks (requiring replacement of the radiator and several hoses), and one of the quarter windows had broken cable connections. So far I've been able to fix everything myself, but now the power mirrors, windows and top have all quit working (probably the comfort control module) and the radio appears to have an internal short that drains the battery over night. Plus the minor engine oil leaks are becoming worse. We bought this car in 2016 with around 140,000 miles, just for fun on the weekends. I knew there would be some risk with the 4.2 engine's reputation for eating timing chains. All has been fine in that department, but the little things breaking just never end. I'm at the point where I simply can't keep up with the things that are constantly going wrong. It's time to trade it for a fun car that we can enjoy driving instead of one that's broken most of the time.
