We owned one for 120k and sold it back. It had minor issues, but was a fun car. One thing to be aware of with these is the HPFP (high pressure fuel pump). One tank of gasoline or water contaminated diesel and it self destructs. The shards go throughout the fuel system requiring the entire thing to be replaced. I think its $7k in parts alone. The '09 supposedly had 5%/yr failure rate. I believe they improved the design in '11 on model years, but be aware. Don't fill up at low turnover stations in the middle of nowhere if you can help it. That was my primary reason for dumping the car.
