I'll keep saying it again and again it's the weight that kills this car:
- Suspension needs to be unnecessarily stiff to compensate. Your passengers will hate riding in it.
- 16 mpg combined. Lol what my F80 6MT gets 23 combined. A SUV that needs to be refilled every few days. Guess gas is still cheap.
- you will go through tires like mad. My X3 M40i rears are toast at 12k miles. You'll be buying a new set of tires every few months. |
Your tire issue is due to driving behavior, not an inherent issue with the car.
