The best:Strong engine and sounds great! Recently put new exhaust on, pretty happy with it. Might make a few tweaks/improvements, but this configuration will stay on for a while.
The worst:F*cking sh*t breaks on this car all the time… I don't know where to start… key fob doesn't work/battery dead, power lock button doesn't work, automatic window buttons stopped working, radio not working anymore, rear hatch release died, driver side door handle pulled off and ripped off part of the panel with it, driver's side view mirror fell off because of someone's crappy epoxy job, recirculating fan makes horrible noise every time you switch the key to the on position/start the car/put the car into reverse for whatever reason, windshield washer fluid motor stopped working, five flat tires - only one of which was my fault (just bad luck, but the car is cursed..), clutch master cylinder went out, primary hood release didn't work for the first eight months I had it, no AC, muffler rusted off, valve cover gasket bolts worked themselves loose, drips oil, primary air intake duct broke, fuel system currently not working, I mean, come on…
The best:It’s a good small sporty car with lots of build potential. Parts are easily exchangeable between all Mark 5 cars.
The worst:Coding and modules and electronics are a little complex and require OEM grade, scan tools and coding tools to do electrical work on modules besides basic stuff like literally wiring.
