Which years to avoid
- 2018 (2016–2018 (1.5T)): Oil consumption and turbo failures on the small turbo — the engine to skip without records.
- 2017 (2016–2018 (1.5T)): Oil consumption and turbo failures on the small turbo — the engine to skip without records.
- 2016 (2016–2018 (1.5T)): Oil consumption and turbo failures on the small turbo — the engine to skip without records.
What to check before you pay
- 2016+ 1.5T: oil consumption and turbo failures — check oil level, listen for turbo whine, look for blue smoke on startup
- 2013–2015 2.5L: stop/start system glitches and some starter complaints — watch the restart behavior at lights
- 2016+: occasional transmission shudder on 6-speed cars — feel for vibration at light throttle
