I have one (non turbo), and simply love it. Its done just over 100k miles, and still goes like the day I got it. Solid as well, and many people have commented on the fact that the interior shows so little age, despite the car being 6 years old. Sure, it isn't exactly a fast car, but it has on occasion amazed me, such as the time I did 110mph with a trailer full of bicycles....
Things that have gone wrong:
Watch the oil pump, if it makes noise replace it, as replacing 20 valves isn't fun.
I've had issues with the connector on the ECU showing corrosion, which caused the car to cut out or surge - $1 fix though.
Other than that, the following is worth knowing:
First clutch replacement only yesterday
Original CVs and CV boots
Third set of brake pads
Second set of tyres
12km/l fuel consumption (mostly urban)
You can't go wrong!
