dude if u get one make sure its under 31k on the clock coz the reason they "drink so much oil" is because the centre bearing on the rotor starts to weep and pushes the oil out the back of the mounting and then it will colapse and then engine rebuild. i done three of them wen they first came out. we use diffrent chemicals to the japs in our petrol but the one chemical we do use eats the sheild on the bearing and hence making it seize/colapse. dude dnt want to put a downer on them they are gd cars just wait 6 mounth for them to finish the recall on them.it was a certan batch of bearings and they never concistantly used them just here and there thats y the recall been going on for the last 2 years
