Are there any (well)known faults with this model?

If it is fitted with a straight manual transmission the risk levels are greatly reduced. Some are fitted with a manual transmission which by the magic of electronics changes gears automatically (no clutch pedal).

The brain of the transmission is a very expensive component (3K plus) and has been known to give problems.

Apart from that there are no major issues that we are aware of although the greater the mileage the higher the risk regardless of what make/model you choose.

is that called a tiptronic?
