Things that I don't like so far, are the small side mirrors, body shape and rattling sound in B&O speakers which is driving me crazy.
I was hoping to get two more years out of my 2016 but given how much I had to put into it it was time to trade it in. The car needed new tires and breaks and probably water pump very soon. That'd be an easy $5K. Dealer quoted me $5k to replace the timing chain and cover, it also needed new rear shocks very soon.
question is would you rather spend $5-6K on the car drive it for another year or two and trade it for $5K down the road, or take $8-9K trade now and put the money towards the new car?
