I purchased my sport in September 2013, and have driven it 141k in those 3+years. It has been reliable only things I fixed out of pocket were a failed backup camera and a failed windshield washer pump. Probably cost $400 out of pocket, other repairs turbo oil feed line(twice) and complete turbo assembly(at 36k) noisy. The car has been comfortable and fairly economical, 22-25mpg, delivering on its premise of hauling people and stuff wherever you want to go. Early gripes, cupping of the rear tires beacause of the factory specs for camber at the rear, I had cupping for two sets of tires until I got an alignment Tec to adjust the specs to be more neutral. Would I buy another one....yes, basically beacause the new Mercedes E63amg wagon isn't very practical for everyday use and it costs $160k. I still suggest hyundais/kias to colleagues in the market, stuff works right and little stuff doesn't break and cause you to lose your mind waiting for a fix. I have probably forgotten to mention a bunch of things but stay tuned I'll report back at 150k

Wow, just had a tire rotation done on the 2014 SFS 2.4 and I had been hearing something and the back tires were cupped. Sounds like the same issue, so I better get it aligned.
Congrats on getting to those miles with few problems. Safe to say you didn't have the motor problems that some 2013 & 2014 motors had.

Well most likely the oil is burning but not enough to visually see , some probably through the rings and some maybe through the turbo seals. Oil being passed by the turbo seals can usually be identified if you floor it when warmed up at a lower speed a see some bluish smoke from the exhaust.
In answer to Richy's question I don't think any of the trans/radiator/differential fluids have been changed out. My car has been dealer maintained (with the exception of three oil changes) for all its life. I don't succumb to every whim the service advisor throws at me trying to use my best judgement. I am due for an oil change in about 3-weeks I'll have him check my file and report back on the three items you mentioned. If I can find it in my own records sooner than that, but there is snow on the ground and skiing to do so I may not want to dig into it.
60k is recommended in manual for those fluids. Then radiator it says every 30k thereafter 60k.
