I've had my 2004 CTT for about 8 months now. Love it, it's the best SUV out there in my opinion, definitely the best handling.
Issues:
Bearing for Drive shaft goes bad. Best replacement is by Vortex, don't have to remove the whole shaft.
Coolant pipes. OEM are plastic, will need to replace with aftermarket aluminum. They will fail at some point and possibly ruin the starter and other components.
Coil packs go bad, best to replace all 8 at same time.
Brake Booster hoses crack, generate booster alarm.
Stereo/GPS not that great, I installed a Tranzit HD Bluetooth module to integrate phone and streaming music.
If you end up looking at a different vehicle, take a look at the available Turbo models. Usually only a few K more but loaded with a lot of extra features like full leather, air suspension, parking sensors, etc... Oh, and that Twin Turbo thrust!
