Bloody hell thats good to know,
In all fairness, I think I got a good one. It doesn't rattle, until recently it didn;t clunk (all sorted now), I've had one MAF go, and the rear washer come off once. None of the other common problems seem to have appeared.
I get about 30k out of a set of front pads, 60k out of the rears. 60k out of front and rear discs (could have been more but I'm fussy), 20k out of Goodyear Eagle F1s (I have them changed at approx 10k. front pass side goes to front drivers side, same with rears.
Exhaust lasted 100k (and was in 'as new' condition when I removed it), HIDs have lasted 100k.
Suspension, bushes, and ARBs were replaced around 60k (again down to choice)
The one bad bit about mine, is that the bodywork is starting to show its age. 130k of stonechips, fading and dings. Two minor bits of rust (caused by the plastic B pillar cover fouling the body), but since I now have a company car, all that is due to change
