@bman400 the Foz has a stick so it's not a turbo. Turbos were auto trans/CVT only after 2008. And no Eyesight on sticks in 2017--I researched 2017's bigtime when I bought ours and drove/considered a stick, a low-end XT, and ultimately bought a regular 2.5i Premium.

With any stick shift vehicle, do some brisk shifts and confirm synchros are working well. There is a rev hang problem that made me NOT want a stick on 2017 after having rev hang on my '09. These are not fun to drive in a performance sense at all...pretty much agricultural.

Throwout bearings may be an issue--my '09 ate one early and my son had another one fail. You won't have to worry about CVT or Eyesight issues, so my main concern beyond that might be oil leaks/burning.

I think there were some people that had strange rusting on door seams on the edges of the doors and jambs. Ours does not have that problem but it's garaged.

There were some global AC condenser issues but those would have been fixed early on under warranty. Ours went in 2019.

I had an '09 with a stick and my son still has it with 203k miles; our '17 is a CVT and is up to 75k miles.

Washed my '17 thoroughly yesterday for the first time. Have had it a month. 28500 miles. Saw a few orange spots (rust colored) under the paint, or under the top clear coat. There were MANY areas of that black pigmented 'Armor All' that the dealer's detailing had over sprayed. Most came off with the wash and "scrubbing" with microfiber cloth. I'm pretty sure the rest will come off with a good wax job. The orange - not too sure about those.
