The clutch went out at 40k but likely due to son’s driving. We had the dealer change it but looked super easy so wish I’d saved the money and changed it with my son.
A 2015 would have the 2.0 turbo, much better than the old 1.8 which I think ended around 2005. Changing a clutch on a FWD car isn't too bad if you're a DIY type Pelican.
