We have a 2006 2.0T Conv. It developed Intake Valve syndrome. 2006 to 2009 some say other years. Low compression due to Intake valves being soft and squishing down. Cat Converter got clogged by extra fuel not burned. $2800 for rebuilt head and Cat. Do search on Soft Intake valve. I still like the I4 over the V6. Do a compression test before you buy. My compression was 35# to 48# before it did not start. Misfire codes. 84,xxx miles. Now 111,xxx miles and going strong.
My friend has a 2004 and no issues.
