Overview and Common Failures
Body and Interior The paint coating is weak, chips appear quickly, but the body is galvanized here. The interior is good in terms of materials and ergonomics, the seats are also quite comfortable. The sound insulation blocks out tire noise, but engine noises and vibrations can still be felt. Engine Both engines are well known to us and have proven themselves to be reliable. It is unknown whether the problem with cylinder scoring has been solved, as these cases are still isolated. With excessively aggressive driving, the timing chain usually stretches by 100,000 km of mileage. Transmission The six-speed manual and both automatic transmissions have stood the test of time and are quite reliable. The only common transmission issue is regular lubricant leaks. Chassis No weak points have been found in the suspension, steering system, and braking system so far.
