I am just trying to see if there is much foundation to these claims from other users here or whether it is a case of people making more noise because it is deemed a premium car which shouldn't encounter these issues at all. If it seems to be a genuine problem, is there anything I should look for on the service history to see if any particular work was done (I think coil packs were mentioned???). The car has about 80,000kms on the clock.
