Am hoping for this to be a one-off hiccup. Having said that, my FIL had a very expensive issue with a C Class, not too far out of Warranty, and next door neighbour an expensive issue with his 3 Series, just out, as well. So going Euro marque is not necessarily the answer. I couldn't afford to anyway.
I cannot fault the way this car feels/drives/looks. (2.4 L with factory Modulo body stuff).
We shall see...
