        If it were Tesla that wouldn’t really be surprising. My Velositor is pretty well built I’d say

          Mine looks like it is quitting at 105k miles. Original owner.

          How long have you had yours? Is mine weird?

            I used mine all the way to 175k miles, and it was the dual clutch.

            All my door trim distintegrated. The a/c button panel had to be replaced yearly. The paint was coming off. Had to do cv axles twice - once under warranty and once because the boots turned to goo. Engine drank a quart of oil every 2000 miles. Had to glue the plastic piece back on that holds in the passenger door handle. The trunk latch motor broke a plastic part inside and I had to jerry rig it with a screw to get it working again. Touchscreen radio died in a year - replaced it with a lookalike chinese android unit that gave me navigation and lasted way longer. Can’t complain about suspension parts failing. Rough roads make for sad struts on any car.

            The cost to replace a dead clutch motor is what did me in. Kinda hard to drive a lot with only gears 1, 3, 5 and no reverse.

            Still, did not regret owning it. I got to cross off “daily a car with a dual clutch transmission” on my automobile bucket list.

              I’m going to the dealership next week to get it “officially” determined, but I think I’m burning over a quart per 1k miles.

              I wouldn’t expect that for what I’ve done - faithfully getting oil changes and using synthetic.

              Not really sure what to think except that I’ve grown skeptical of the brand unless something changes. Around 18 months ago I was told I should expect 200-240k miles if I take care of routine maintenance.

              Edit: did you use any additives and if so, anything you’d recommend?

              I’m hoping this 150k extended for the rod bearings comes into play, but my experience with Hyundai dealerships says even if I qualify, they may try to say I don’t.

                I didn’t use additives - I used Amsoil Signature Synthetic. On my current car I get Pennzoil Platinum / Ultra Platinum. On GDI engines, the oil’s breakdown resistance is a big deal. You can tell what oil isn’t good by how much faster your car burns thru it.

            We got rid of our Getz at 12yo and 210k km - still working fine with only normal repairs for its age and km. Our i30 is now six years old with 80k km and no problems at all.

          My neighbors have a little Hyundai SUV (Sante fe) and they have a lot of trouble keeping oil in it.

            I had a Sunflower (Pontiac) and would go through a quart of oil every few weeks… Your point is?

            Hows the panel gaps? Interior fall apart? Bumpers fall off when it rains?

      Actually this would be a good opportunit for software developers to get in touch with various parties and vendors across the Amazon network to try find a potential paradigm shift on the mechanics of the platform that will give as many options to as many people possible
