It is a fairly reliable power unit, except for its high fuel consumption. The only weak point of the engine is the not very high resource of the timing chain. For enthusiasts who frequently start from a standstill, the chains may need to be replaced as early as 50,000 km. Like all direct injection engines, it is prone to carbon buildup on the valves. Try to avoid severe overheating or lubrication leaking from all seals.
