I was thinking about what I have spent since I have had this one and it's not funny at all approx £1800 in less than 10 months and I have done a lot of jobs my self, so a fair bit was on parts at trade cost as well.
But I have no problem at all as I think that a lot of the jobs were needed to be done but the service was done at the main dealer main reason was for the software update,
Would I buy one again.............YES.
Agreed - it's a bit like saying your porn star supermodel girlfriend is annoying you because her time keeping isn't perfect!

A car with the talent of the S60 isn't a bog standard saloon and never will be - maintenance wise or otherwise.
