Thread: Volvo S60 2.4

Have to agree with staying away from euro trash, my better half jumped up and down untill I gave in and we bought her an Audi A3, 2005 model, what a lemon, had only 70,000km on it and waterpump crapped out, followed by thermostat (i must add a new thermostat was nearly $200, for a bloody thermostat!) plus the interior looks really nice, untill it starts falling apart, the dash covering started to peel away plus plastic surrounds around the bottom of the seats broke off, now its started to use water again so I suspect its done a major and blown headgasket, I cant be bothered with the bloody thing and its been sitting in our garage untill I get up the courage to cut our losses and call a wrecker to come and relieve us of its burden.
I would be looking at something Nissan or Toyota

The minis are entertaining. The 5 speed manuals are lemons, google 'midlands' 5speed. The 6 speeds are a Getrag unit and are solid. They do a pile of weird other shit too tho. Mates girlfriend had her radiator replaced under recall (wtf) and less than two years later has split both tanks. I honestly think euros are only made to last 7 years and then implode in every way possible
