"Valve cover gasket leak 2020, $1300 USD to fix, then in 2023 oil pan and oil filter housing gaskets fixed, about $USD 4000 to repair. Now, beginning March 2024, burning oil, blue/white smoke, when starting sometimes, when accelerating on occasion, with little driving. VERY disappointing. Local mechanic says to sell it. Ive put about $12,000 CAD into the car in the past 5 months. The free ride is over."
