Update 2: Car had so many issues in the end I had to sell/scrap it and I am happy with my new car.

Update 1: Some updates. Still not really happy about spending too much time with my car.

Got a new car as my old one broke down, still thinking maybe I picked the wrong one. Never thought of me as a car guy. But with my new car I run into some issues that needed to be resolved and also hat some ideas to ease my life with better equipment.
