I can kind of feel the originator's pain. Its a lot of money to pay for a car with some serious bugs. I have had my 2011 AWD for 5 months now and its a pretty nice car. However, the MFT although better, still has bugs even after the upgrade. I still have to get the tranny fixed as it does have the cluncks and does not shift correctly. Many folks having problems dont log on and share experiences, but judging from those that do, there are some serious flaws. Most new cars should not have this, so i would recommend holding off for another year.
All that said, this is still a very nice car and maybe after all these things are fixed, it will be fine. For the record..no wind noise and the ride is quiet, but the suspension really stiffens up in cold weather.
I can understand why some owners are satisfied. I am just not used to buying a new vehicle that sounds like a transmission is about to explode. So I will have to take it back untill they can fix that, then back again for yet another MFT update at some time. Hope that is all....keeping my fingers crossed
