One would think either cheaper or with more kit..... 7 year warranty, Australian tuned....

Just not a big fan of the wheels.....

Same engine,  possibly same SR  issue?

It's an odd one, because the same basic engine has been used in the Veloster Turbo and other models for several years without issue??

is it really engine issue or more down to firmware and electronics?

Almost certain it will be firmware or electronics. Basic design has proven reliable and long lasting in other applications. :cool:
