Re: Considering Buying a 2011 95 Turbo4 Premium Posted by 900EMS [Email] (#433) [Profile/Gallery] (more from 900EMS) on Mon, 25 Jun 2012 12:06:07 In Reply to: Considering Buying a 2011 95 Turbo4 Premium, PCFlyer, Fri, 22 Jun 2012 17:19:27 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I've had my Turbo4 Premium since last October. It's been trouble-free mechanically in its first 5,300 miles. The worst thing about the car was the Conti ProContact tires. I found them to be the worst riding and loudest of any tire I've ever had on a car. I was able to trade them at Discount Tire for a set of Bridgestone RE970 Pole Position which I've found to be infinitely better in every way.
As to gas mileage, 32-33 is way too optimistic. Maybe not if you're considering a manual transmission equipped car. But the automatic? I think the EPA estimate of 28MPG is about right.
As it's Monday my message may be too late for you. If not, I'd try and find a 9-5 with Navigation and the Heads Up Display (HUD). The standard issue radio isn't much to look at, especially not at the original pricing of the car. The HUD works great. The only downside at the moment is that replacement windshield glass is impossible to find for HUD-equipped cars. Hopefully now that the parts supply chain seems to be improving supply issues with windshields will improve too.
