I drove this car with precisely this engine during 15 (!) years (2003-2018) with a total of about 250000 km. No problems. Very good car. Spacious , engine quite quiet and good performance (Can't believe those 20 secs from 0-100 and more important in every-day driving are the acceleration 60-100 or 80-120 where it performed very well ) . Otherwise your test drives are among the best !
