Wife’s 17 Sport Touring 6 speed

[Black Betty]

Hey everyone some pics here of my wife’s 17 Sport Touring hatchback 1.5/6MT

It currently has 64,000KM on it and looks better then the day she got it. She daily drives 150KM a day for work. Car regularly gets 4.8-5.1L/100KM and has been nothing but reliable and fun to drive.

I run Castrol FTT 0W20 GDI formula oil every 8000km (works out to about 50% on the MM, then do whatever service code is due when at 15%), also run Royal Purple Max Atomizer injector cleaner every 5000KM. Car also from day 1 has only ever got Shell 91 which has no ethanol here in Canada. Also changed the PCV valve at 60,000km. I recently did the N66 oil dilution update, although being highway driven this car has never had an elevated oil level, and I check it every other day.. cause I’m anal that way... which is why I’ve modified the dipstick so I can read the damn thing.

Here she was from day 1 with being the first one to drive it, and gas it till now with most recent photo being today, rocking its RWC winter wheels and Blizzaks.

Always use Adams Products, car likely has more sealant and wax then clear coat at this point. For a daily driver with 64,000KM the paint literally looks better then day it came off the truck.

Oil level photo is with 3500KM since last oil change, bang on.

cool set up!!

I was wondering though, how come the doors have leather trim as well?

I have a leather interior, but my doors are cloth, not in leather
Or is that an aftermarket upgrade you added for the door panels?

Ordered new one, marked through holes with a felt market, broke off plastic, used a file to mark Full and Add marks as marked with the marker, rounded edges and cleaned it up.. works so much better!

are the door trims also leather? could be wrong but it looks like so on that small visible part of the door trim

Door inserts, and door armrests are leather, center console is leather, seats and wheel/shift knob are leather
