I'm at only 3100 miles on my 2017 hatchback w/ manual, took delivery late Nov. I live close to work and often bike to work. I am not much of a traveler. Perhaps I should have gone used, but, the adequate back seat space and hatch were something I wanted. A combination that's not easy to find. Also fuel economy. With the low price of fuel and the low mileage I'm driving, that was not really necessary.
At last, the transmission has loosened up, and I'm used to the big gap between 1-2 and 2-3. Driving it like I've driven four-cylinder cars in the past. Learned to ignore the upshift light, as I did on the 1986 car I owned.
Worried about these reports of #1 piston destroyed due to low-speed preignition. Have heard my car give out unexpected pre-ignition crackles twice so far. Will start filling with premium, at least unless & until there's a programming fix. Condition has occurred when tipping in the throttle after shifting.
I wonder if the computer is just too slow to react sometimes? Maybe the programming all looks good, but processor throughput delays cause problems. I know for the turn signal, odd & slightly annoying skips in the cadence of the 'clicker' make me think the body computer is overwhelmed at times. Maybe the throttle-control routine needs faster communication to the fuel & spark routine.
