You would be quite right there.
Only reason I sold.mine as the car literally fell apart. I had all those, electic windows needing to lift with hand, seatbelts broken, door actuators fmd they nearly did me in. Fix then blows in 5 minutes.
Plus the coils were never any good. I had about 8 Sets, 1 per year and I've never had a car with those issues before.
Barra Turbo ran as strong as new at 300K. Still fast as and no leaks EVER. Absolutely supurb engine other than the thirst but you can't have everything.
