  • Reliability (3)
    3 out of 5 stars
    The powertrain is robust, but owners must watch for critical issues like subframe cracking, VANOS failure, and rod bearing wear.
  • Maintenance (2)
    2 out of 5 stars
    Expensive to keep in top shape, requiring specialized high-performance fluids and periodic, costly valve adjustments.
  • Technology (2)
    2 out of 5 stars
    Equipped with very basic early-2000s electronics; the navigation system is primitive and connectivity options are non-existent.
  • Comfort (3)
    3 out of 5 stars
    The interior features high-quality materials and supportive seats, though the suspension is noticeably stiff for daily commuting.
  • Dynamics (5)
    5 out of 5 stars
    Widely regarded as the gold standard for sports coupes, offering a high-revving S54 engine and near-perfect chassis balance.
