Status: offline 		As the standard reaction to the 3200 is that it must be unreliable, can I poll 3200 owners?  I'm wondering if we hea mor about the bad news than the good, or am I just fortunate?

My car is utterly reliable, and has only needed ££ to tend to wear and tear you'd get with any 65k mile car.

Cut and paste and add your view:

Owner                          Reliable                               Not reliable

Paco            Yup I treat it like a Golf and it loves it

Markc  reliable  She likes to be used (ahhh, if only everything were like that) but at a cost ie +3500 pa (Still, cheaper than the misses)

Miket            How do you define reliable, she's had to be recovered twice in two and a half years
                  both in early ownership, (clutch fork failure & ecu crashed) but I do always wonder
                  how much the next trip is going to cost me, highly strung things these cars. 50/50.

                  Can I do that ?

Status: offline 		oil line fretted through on first night of ownership and the dreaded CEL  - still unresolved - otherwise only maintainance. @87K
If money wasnt a consideration I could replace throttle body, pedal pot, and all other related sensors and  eradicate the problem - this would mean not using the car for 2 years to pay for, so a bit at a time

I would still say reliable  - has to be as she is my only transport

Rog              Only 6 months, but it's been as reliable as any other "normal" car I've had. Used
                  every day, 10 mile round trip station run through the week then 200 miles at
                  a weekend, done a couple of long runs 600 miles in 2 days sort of stuff, it's never
                  missed a beat
