Thanks for the well wishes, right now the climate controls feel as if they might give out at any point... I just do not feel confident with them as it is viciously cold these days where I live.belleth wrote: ↑Fri Feb 14, 2020 6:38 pmIt has been a long while since I posted.
But couldn't miss this topic. I still own my 2012 m35h. when I bought it (with 18k miles on it), I'm at 66k miles now, only 2 repairs on the books - tire pressure sensor (installer broke it and didn't tell me), 2 rear calipers - dealer did it for some reason... i paid just 100$ deductible under extended warranty.
I'm disappointed to hear all these issues, really hope it's not an indication for majority of vehicles... as I was just thinking how much I still like my car and how trouble free it has been.
On a positive note, glad to hear that dealer took care of you to that extent. Hopefully they get it right.

On a side note, how is your MPG?
How many KMS per tank do you get and how much do you fill up for?
I drive 80% city and am only getting 350-400KMS per tank. I normally end up filling up 50-55L
Is it the cold weather that's killing my mileage or something else? I drive on ECO mode most of the time and like to let the car warm up a bit in the morning.
Wait you're saying that you get 525KM per tank during the frigid winter as well?? That is a whole 140KM to 150KM difference. Mind you we did have some -20 degree spells and some idling time but that is a pretty big variance. I have Blizzaks WS80's on mine and the 360KM tank was observed during some really cold days and 90% city driving.vq35power wrote: ↑Mon Feb 24, 2020 5:32 pmsadboy wrote: ↑Thu Feb 20, 2020 1:24 pm

Yeah I noticed winter kills the mpg. Driving highway only I get about 6.9 l/100 and on a fillup after highway driving DTE shows 750KM. 80% City driving I get about 525KM on a tank and I usually fill up about 50-55L which means there is gas left still.
Honestly mpg has beat my expectations already.
