Former Veloster driver checking in

Live in Alaska, used to drive a '13 Veloster Turbo. A skill issue was had and I no longer do. Ended up buying a '13 JCW hatch because it was literally the first car I test drove that was actually in driveable condition. Enjoying it so far, though it does have some problems like a leaking front damper (honestly feels like both need to be replaced) and worn brakes (dealership quoted over $1K for new stock-replacement pads). Does not appear to have the timing chain or oil-burning issues yet, fingers crossed.
