PM me. I can share my experience, which has been positive. I bought my '08 new in this Spring of that year. I have 111,000 miles on the car with mods in my signature below. It has been my daily driver and has needed only routine maintenance. I did just recently have the turbo rebuilt, which I consider a routine maintenance thing once you pass 100,000 miles. Shocks, struts, rubber sway bar bushings, and of course tires and brake pads and spark plugs, accessory belt. That may seem like a lot, but those are all normal "wear" maintenance items. No premature wear or mechanical parts failures at all. I'll give you more info and maintenance tips via PM if you like.
These are fun little cars.
