Now the question, is the joy worth the pain?

I was sold on design, it has seduced me, make me sign on the dotted line. At that time , it was the only non conforming car model that suit all my needs and most importantly wants. It was cheap. I was careful to only take the safer options of non turbo engine with aisin transmission.

To date I must fess up, the secret joy that I still have is I drive an un usual car, unconventional with all the quirkiness.

And honestly saying , I don't know how to let go of such secret delight that I have every day.

Yes, the car gives me a lot more headache that I have never anticipated at times, and yes, it is costlier to maintain. Still, among the mass market continental brands, it was and still is the brand that appeal to me most.

So I wouldn't be surprised that I may do it again. Get another if the need arise again.

Hmm maybe you're a masochist type then. laugh.gif

Btw your statement that it's 'cheap' actually is not really true if you count the worthless RV plus the ridiculous repair and maintenance cost. It's actually becoming a very expensive total cost of ownership while just having a non-premium regular brand, common car.
