Got her almost 2 years ago.

She has been a curse.

But I love her none the less...

Ron is my witness :P

So far, from what I can remember, I've had to replace...

* Brake discs, at least 4 times, thats excluding how many times they were skimmed. The current ones probably need skimming. I detect brake shudder on the freeway when I brake.
* Control arms in the front
* Left front hub (that one was a real joy)
* Tyres (this is my third new set now, in the space of a few months. Dunlop have excellent service, but I doubt their tyres!)
* Exhaust
* Steering rack, and it needs to be replaced again
* Windscreen

Always doubt a car that has low milage that belonged to an old lady.

She does look nice when she's clean though :) And those cup holders... one can never have enough of them.

It's owned by Volvo, but wasn't it engineered by Audi? Audi pioneered the 5-cylinder back in the day. Might be mistaken though. I also thought the Audi RS3/TT-RS shared the same engine design as the Focus RS.

You have me doubting, although I am pretty sure the engine came from the old Volvo 850 T5.

That little car is so solid. Some people complain that the drive is to hard, but it is absolutely perfect for me.
So far (13,000km), no problems at all. I might be kind of biased, but I think the trim is quite refined for a little hatch. Very similar quality to my friend's Yaris.
