    Ye Ol coolant loss mystery...

    2014 1.8 sedan. Over the last year or so, the level has gone down in the clear tank. Been marking with a sharpy. Down about an inch or so. Dealer did a pressure test, nothing. I am going to do an oil change and send in a sample to check for coolant loss.

    One month, 1000 miles...my thoughts.

    Had the 2014 LT for a month now. No real complaints here, enjoy driving the car. My thoughts?? -1/2 gallon washer fluid capacity? Cripes, in this wintery area you will burn thru that in one commute. -Great trunk space! I jammed a ton of tools in the trunk a week back. -Stereo sounds...
