My X is a bit "special". I must say however that all of the woes I have experienced thus far have been with the motor. I've had a couple other issues with it that were "self-inflicted" (me being careless). And a few strange occurrences that only happened once and seemed to have fixed themselves. My door tweeter speaker BLARED static one day while the car was just sitting turned off in my garage. A couple minutes later it just randomly stopped and hasn't happened since. These cars seem to have their own personalities. I LOVE my X but sometimes feel like I'm driving a fancy, expensive, pretty, piece of shit with a luxurious interior and aesthetically pleasing exterior. And some of the engineering designs leave me scratching my head...

I've owned it less than a year though so we will see how things turn out in the long run...
