Mine has been fabulous, but others here have not had the same experience. I've had only two unexpected expenses - a cracked dashboard and the aforementioned glow plugs. There were a couple transmission problems early on, and the transmission was rebuilt at 80K miles (warranty), although whether that was actually needed is questionable. Oh, and the rear window regulators were replaced under warranty. So I'm very happy with its performance over 4 years and 94,000 miles. However, at least two members here sold theirs because they spent more time in the shop than on the road. I think dealer competency probably has a lot to do with that.
