      I love this car, but....

      i can say i'm surprised. you can't expect supercar performance without supercar type of issues. i just put in $40 worth of gas yesterday, and this morning i need to fill her up again. i live in the city and get only like 6-7 mpg, which has resulted in me visiting the gas station like every day. that combined with the fact that everytime you drive her hard, you have put a quart of oil, has become a big pain in the **s. how can something this good be so bad? i feel like i own a proper supercar with all the proper supercar issues.

      you just have to look at it this way is she really worth it..... do you wake up in the morning excited to drive her and or let her drive you.... with such a great car there will be some flaws such as gas and oil consumptions but its a small price to pay for such a masterpiece and if your really hurting on gas go to home depot and get some rubber hosing and start syphoning gas from other cars

      That is the exact reason my Honda Ridgeline is my daily driver. I know a lot of guys here drive their M5 ever single day, but for me, I like to reserve it for pretty days and nights out with the family.
