Problems:
Turbocharger failure

Timing chain issues
The timing chain can become loose or stretched over time, which may cause timing issues and potentially severe engine damage.
Suspension problems
The sporty suspension setup can lead to wear and tear on components like struts and shock absorbers, resulting in a rough ride and decreased handling performance.
Transmission issues
The twin-clutch SST transmission may experience problems such as rough shifting, delayed engagement, or complete failure, often due to fluid issues or wear over time.
Cooling system failure
The cooling system, including the radiator and hoses, can develop leaks or fail, leading to overheating and potential engine damage.
Electrical problems
Owners have reported issues with electrical components, such as the alternator and battery, which can cause starting problems or electrical malfunctions.
Differential wear
