Lack of current DIY ability makes a Gen2 (2004-2009) a very pricey gamble, especially if you buy a high mileage one. Oil consumption can NOT be avoided for the Gen2; they all consume. Owners who never check the engine oil level with any regularity, will likely have engine damage b/c they only took action after getting warning lights. Also, an engine that consumes a lot of oil will have a catalytic converter that dies an early death. Only cure for this is a new catalytic converter and essentially and engine rebuild (to address the high oil consumption).

Better to get a vagon.
