OP, if reliability and low maintenance costs are your primary concern don't buy a 9 year old performance car and start crying when it needs work. Go and buy a Daihatsu.

Why do you bring up the age of the car? people had to get their hpfp's replaced as early as 500 miles 1-2 months. It's a problematic car end of.

I've said it before and I'm saying it again, I'm blaming myself because I knew the common problems and still went for it. Just a shame such a beautiful car with good specs turned out to be a so unreliable. It has nothing to do with the performance. Audi s3, golf r, audi tts, audi s5 all performance cars but the common problems are stuff like window regulators, sagging seats and maybe coil packs. Nothing nearly as pricey or hard to fix as with this.
