Only 1500kms on the clock but. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much went missing but it would slowly go. But after about 10,000 to 15,000km the problem went away and engine oil level stayed the same ever since. 92,000km on the clock so far.

Rotors warp too easily, build quality issues eg windows. Once you start playing youll find alot more that goes wrong lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
