Thats great man. I just traded mine in before the 100k. Keep enjoying the car.
You can still get an '18! It's not too late! lol

I plan to keep mine until God strikes it down. The ST has a sturdy little engine.

Got the feel for the wheel, keep the moving parts clean.

Have you done a timing belt yet? Getting to be about that time.

I have a '17 with just under 12,000 miles.

I had to add about 12 ounces of oil yesterday, and I'm about 2,500 miles into my most recent oil change.

Is this normal? I think it's because I've let the car idle a little too long during cold starts; I'm not fully sure.

I never had any issues. check you PCV lines see if theres a lot of oil in there. also have you noticed any leaks under the car. other place too look is at the Turbo. also check your intercooler pipes.

Thank you I'll check for leaks next oil change as there are no obvious signs.

Is it possible it was underfilled at the oil change?

If not, that's a lot of oil. Even extended idling wouldn't burn that much.
