Nope not burning oil or anything, just bought it monday week ago, runs great, was an ex lease car so it was serviced every 15,000 km and all hot km being a rep car. Has a slight whine sound, in the mechanical report for the auction i bought it at it said it was in the drive train but i think its more just the sound of the brushes on the alternator or something as you can hear it at idle, i asked my uncle about it he said it just sounds like brushes, its getting a service on thursday so should be good. Other than that it runs really good, very happy with it, very nice car to drive. Best car i have owned!
