Every model has it's weaknesses and strengths. The AC is weak, but I just add more R134a once in a while. The oil hose on the back of the turbo can leak and the tranny needs to be flushed at least once a year.
The R model has too much power! It is fun to drive and you need to watch the speedometer so you don't get tickets. A little rough on bumpy roads, but it doesn't lean on corners either. Much tighter than your 740, better climate controls, harder to work on the engine, more plastic pieces, and a lower air dam to get caught on curbs.
I like my 854T and 70R, but the 245 gets me there too.
