Hey thats what you get when you buy a European car. Their quality is not at the top currently. But they have great features. Be safe and enjoy.

6 months old… thats what warranty’s are for!! good luck, and as someone said, alter your driving pattern in the winter. slower IS better, and more conservative driving on snow and ice is a must. when you get the spring thaw, put on the summer tires and you have your performance car back.
