The Good (zoom zoom):

- Power windows & folding mirrors are fully functional
- Tires have < 5000 miles on them
- Recall service recently completed @ the dealership - Replaced seals & sunroof drain
- Full synthetic oil change completed @ the dealership - < 500 miles ago
- Coolant reservoir replaced < 5000 miles ago
- 34 MPG City / 40+ MPG Highway (actuals)
- Clean title
The I Suppose I Can Live With Its (superficial issues):
- Stereo LCD works when its cold and starts to fade the hotter it gets, doesn't effect functionality
- Driver side door hinge doesn't lock into position when opening / closing (be careful, your knees/shins will thank you)
- Ghost warning light related to the car needing a software update, it currently thinks there are rear fog lights / sensors but in the rear bumper but they don't exist
- Front right/passenger side quarter panel/bumper area (see photos)
- Broken speaker grill on the left/driver side front door
The Bad (what needs fixed):
- Water pump needs to be replaced (still drivable, just needs to be monitored)
- Engine filter housing needs to be replaced and is leaking oil (still drivable, just needs to be monitored) - causing an intermittent check engine light
- Electrical / wiring is a bit clunky, which effects the front and rear lights (see below) - causing a warning/christmas tree light fault
- Rear circuit board(s) need to be replaced (brake lights)
- One of the front headlights works intermittently
