You are the other extreme, I'm sorry to hear about you having so many problems. Yes there are problem children out there, unfortunately you got one. Others have no problems. I consider coils and plugs (and maybe the clutch) as normal maintenance items but all the other stuff is unfortunate.

I disagree. There are lots of us around here that have had multiple problems with out 2004's.


You buy an 04 car and you are taking your chances. I wqould never buy a first year model car without warranty.

I'ts your right to disagree. But there are problem children with every year of this product just as there are with any mechnaical product.

I agree about the clutch, plugs, and coils being maintenance. 90% of the rest was covered under warranty. I enjoy all aspects of this car from driving enthusiastically down back roads to spending hours on the forums diagnosing issues.
