    V6 Highline reliability

    Hi Guys,
    Sorry if its been covered but.......
    Looking at re financing my 2012 V6 Highline wagon, and am wondering how people have been going with theirs and indeed some older models.
    I've done 25,000 km's.
    I'm sick of doing my $ on cars so am keen to keep it for the long run, something like 10 years or so, and wondering if this is or is not a good car to do so with.
    So far it hasn't given me any troubles, bar the Auto tail gate not closing which fixed itself the day before it went in for warranty repair.
    Wondering how many k's some of you have got your's up to and if you've had any issues.

    Thanks!

    Keep it serviced and you'll be fine.
    If at all possible get extended warranty for any big issues but overall they will last a good amount of ks.
    My R36 is up to 140k, has been dealer serviced the entire time. I'm probably going to my local specialist, just as there's no more warranty on the car (only on the warranty replaced gear box).

    'Dito' my R36 has done 164k, dealer serviced. Drives like brand new, no problems what so ever. Absolutely love this car.

    Only problems that may pop up are timing chain tensioners and injectors.

    Even then, you'd have to be very unlucky because they're not that common.

    I have exactly the same as you & am very happy with it. It does everything so effortlessly. Mine has now done 55,000 klms.
