The fit and finish was fantastic--definately every bit as good as an Audi. It's a very nice car. But this notion they (or any other car) are totally flawless and require no maintanence is real BS. When people say things like "I drove my Japanese car 300,000 and miles and the only thing I ever did was put some windshield washer fluid in it" are really full of it. Yes, you can buy one new and drive it 80K or 90K and do little more than change the oil. But the next owner is the one who'll pay the price for that kind of lack of maintenance. I used to run acrossed cars like this all the time when I was a dealer--Honda's, Toyota's, Subarus, Acuras etc, with slipping trannies, blow-by and a whole rash of problems at 80 or 90K because the previous owner thought they didn't require maintenance. And anyone who gets 200K plus spends plenty on keeping them up. Any time someone starts laying that crap on you start quizing them and you'll find out that either they maintained it or they traded it off before the "chickens came home to roost". There are good cars but they require every bit as much maintenance as any other car to go the distance. And I can tell you that no dealer service department could ever stay in business just doing oil changes and tune-ups.
