Correct, have been for 18 months.

Just hit 30,000km (18,600 miles).

Why are you surprised?

It's all Crown Vics and Suburbans and Nissan Patrols out there haha

Lol, don't forget the Toyota Camrys,

But back on topic, car hasn't given me any trouble and I always drive it like I stole it.

How does your A/C handle the brutal heat over there? Hope it holds up pretty well man

The A/C works really great, never been a problem .

However, the performance difference from the hot days and the cooler nights is very apparent.

Owned my 2011 for 2 1/2 years now. At 61k miles.

Major issues:
- Intake manifold replaced at 60k (replaced under extended warranty)

Minor issues/TSBs:
- TSB, Wastegate rattle at 7k (I think)
- TSB, DSG software reflash at 8k (I think)
- Metallic knocking noise when turning wheel at 60k (paid out of pocket)
- Rubbing noise when pulling up parking brake (not fixed, but dealer confirmed there is nothing wrong with it mechanically)

A little more high maintenance than I'm used to (grew up driving Honda/Toyota appliances), but the car has been reliable so far.
