I bought the car june 11th from a lad in Brantford, on. The car needed some attention. It was summer driven only as well. First thing I did was balancing the tires. Second, adjust the windows to stop the wind noise. Also, the rear hatch latch was improperly adjusted, only latching in the first position. Third, I did an oil change. Sure has a neat oil filter arrangement. The darn thing swallowed just about 8L of oil. I am not using synthetic, not sure if that's ok? I reset the maintenance reminder but I am tempted to do another oil change before that 11000km comes around. What do you think?

Just last week, an american couple approached me while parking at a local restaurant. They had recently purchased an 05 blue roadster. We had a 15 min chat about our cars. We both agreed that the roadster is the better looking car. I have seen a cream colored roadster in my area a few times. What's the story behind your Roadster?

I have to butt in here, although I am not from Eastern Ontario;
I would definitely be putting synthetic back in that engine..........recommended oil from the manufacturer and anyone you may talk to, if that is what it came with from the factory. Mobile 1 0-50 I believe is the recommendation but that might be hard to find, so you may have to compromise there and go a little lighter weight..........but definitely 'synthetic'.

BTW, I disagree with your two owner assessment..............the Coupe is far better styling! LOL!
