    Hello!

    I tried to post a new thread not that long ago, but who knows, life happened and lost the time to browse the forums. My husband and I received our 2013 Turbo Hatch back in October '12. Despite having a water-pump issue last year, we have overall been happy with the car. I'm just waiting for him...
