    Still happy with your B6?

    Well time has flown but almost 7 years up on the B6 still running like a Swiss watch only things I have had to pay for apart from normal servicing have been the dufus things I have done myself.

    Has been back for injector fix and steering lock failures under extended warranty and one rear led tail light. Everything still works perfectly tight as a drum with no rattles. On 2nd set of tyres original battery and front brake pads. Only just run in with 82000 clicks. Next service need to change timing belt and water pump should be fun. With resale down the toilet will be hanging on for a while I think

    I'm still very happy with my R36. Picked it up in June 2008 and I've put on around 49000km since then, so it's had a fairly easy life in terms of kilometres travelled but most of those 49000km have been driven fairly enthusiastically.

    It's got a couple of minor issues, such as the seat bolster problem, but otherwise it's been fantastic. It hasn't cost me any money aside from regular servicing and several sets of tyres.

    Can't fault it.

    Same here! Had my R36 since 2010. Now at 41000km. Still love driving it. No whatsoever issue except the routine service intervals & tyres.

    If I had 100k to spend I would trade my 2.0T for a well priced R36 and throw the rest in the bank!

    Haven't had the 2.0T for long, I love the drive and overall feel (i prefer it to many many many other cars)... however I wish i had a diesel or a V6 for peace of mind.

    Since 11/2010 I've had three B6s, an 07 3.2 4MO, a 2009 CC 125tdi and now a 09 r36. I always go back to a b6 as its my overall favourite car.

    As i said, love my b6s!

    They're comfortable, I know the interior off my heart, they're easy to maintain and still look great
