both rear air struts
both front strut housings and struts
auxillary fan (intermittent overheating message, even after the waterpump replacement)
water pump
all coils and plugs
quart of oil every 700 to 800 miles
replaced heater hose due to a bad repair, didnt clip the host back so the steering knuckle wore through it, was scared that it was a turbo coolant line.
HID bulbs and halo about to go (intermittent on halo, bulbs are discoloring)

need to replace the bulkhead covers and gasket
need to replace lower and upper oil pan gaskets
Have a thread opened on how the car is shifting a little hard and idle is not smooth, dont know if it is missing, vacuum leak, no CEL.

Love the car the way it looks (msport), but would not have bought if i would have had this much trouble with the car at around 100k miles and beyond.
for how long u own this car and when all this issues starting to arise?
