I have lightbulbs blow out every week or so. My moonroof when in the vent position closes on its own a few times before staying open, and one time even opened on its own. I had the radio cut out one day until I unhooked the battery. The glove box light stays on, then one day stopped working even when open, and now it only goes on if I open the glove box and then actually push the door further open. The passenger rear window doesn't go down automatically anymore. Although not electrical the windshield washer spray doesnt work anymore, it pumps the fluid out somewhere under the car. Also not sure if it ever worked, or what it does but the lumbar on the seats is a 4 way switch. Front and back on the switch works the seat back lumbar, but the up and down on the switch does nothing. Every once in a while after stopping and starting I notice my third brake light (not sure if it's just the third or all of them) stays on after I'm long off the brakes. Like between 1st and 2nd gear I still see it glowing, then it usually goes off.
Nothing major, nothing mechanically wrong, just annoying little things that bother me. I wouldn't call the car junk, as they all have their issues (My 95 Jeeps electrical issues make this one look great) but I was hoping to avoid these things with a newer car.
if you get the audi dont forget the bag of sand port and polish mod... i see more audi 1.8t A4's broken down on the side of connecticut highways and on flatbeds than any other car. granted all the owners are middle aged women who work in insurance offices but idk, i wouldn't trust one. my cousin blew up 3 trannies in his S4 before he owned it 2 full years
scion XB? i hear they have quite the community in the los angeles area... quite possibly the lamest car EVER.
ive personally never seen a mitsubishi anything last long when driven hard... not saying they arent cool or reliable, just all the ones ive seen have broke or been driven into telephone poles.
imho, +1 on the WRX or anything american.
My 2003 A4 1.8T has one of those options as well...
Nice car, runs great, love the options and the interior, but it has had its share of electrical issues, and like stated above, I might have trashed 3rd gear!
Yeah my buddy has almost the exact car and his reverse doesn't work sometimes. He said it had something to do with a tranny solenoid that goes haywire and ****s up the tranny but IDK. Also their glove boxes are like our ash tray doors.
If I was to get a DD right now and had a decent budget it would be an 06+ TL
if your looking at scion's you should look at the scion TC. there around 18,000 new so you could get a used one cheaper. i would stay away from audi (volkswagen), jeep, dodge, nissan (infiniti). i personally would never buy a subaru or mitsu product either. also hyundai's seem to be getting good attention and reviews lately. The only thing i'd probably ever consider would be certain models of ford, toyota (lexus), or honda(acura). even though i think the latter two are overrated products. especially toyota.
just my opinion though
its was interesting working at a dealership that sells toyota,honda,nissan,volkswagen,and jeep.

the hell is wrong with jeeps? my dad has had nothing but wranglers almost his whole life and has had no problems. brother had a grand cherokee with 255k, moms got a gc limited 100k, and other bros got a gc 120k, and no major problems. jeeps are comfy as hell and will pretty much go anywhere through anything.
