    Nice ride. I’ve heard they have head gasket issues though.

    I had the HG replaced and 800 miles later it ate the turbo and the motor is toast. Should hear from the dealer soon.

    So I have a badass car with 6000 miles and lost a motor..YEA

    Good news got the car back and its running strong. Some line on what they call an oil separator was not clipped in.

    I cant believe the noises and how it was running and something so simple could fix it.....

    Sweet ride, little jealous.

    I picked up an ST for a commuter. Great little car. And my clubs still fit in the trunk with a seat cracked.

    Yea, but when I leave to play somewhere else I need to tote them around. But mostly they stay in my golf cart.
