I've been thinking about picking one of these up for several months as a secondary year round driver. It would see maybe 10k kms driving a year I would guesstimate. I've been researching for a long time and haven't really been scared away from the idea yet. I finally drove one(2016) earlier this week and as I expected, really enjoyed it.
I've never had something like this before and the potential maintenance costs are my biggest hang up. I like the exterior styling more of the 12-13 than 14-16 and don't think there is that much difference between the 2 besides looks but would like the hear otherwise.
Looking for some pros and cons, reasons to stay away or not? (Besides it being a 10+ year old German car)
Help me out beyond, I need all of it here!
