yeh i agree all seals go eventually - maintianing the PCV is key but it WILL eventually go and when it does it IS a bigger job than b230/b20...

the tranyas are definatly week in the auto mode, BUT i still say this is due to the turbo kicking out 250 or so ponies (my 2.5 20 valve kicks out 170)... i just dont think the box is up to it...


i agree its down to maintenance and driver...

all this said havign owned a 940 and a 850 and worked on both i think the 850 is actually (for the most part) as easy or easier, seems to require less maintenance and is nicer to drive....the plastic seems less brittle too...now this IS jsut my opinion and i may have got a good one...
