210k miles, I'm at about 219k now. LOLOLOL Right next to the mileage report is the transmission type. "AW4". I don't trust those guys as much as i used to.

I heard spraying CO2 in the lock helps. I would spray some PB buster or WD40 in it to help unstick stuff.

I heard hitting the hatch 5 inches to the left of the handle right when you pull it will open it.

Give a love tap just above and to the right of the handle as you pull on it. Just a swift love tap

Wait you only put 9k in 2yrs. It's your weekend vehicle :whistle. You just may need to tighten it up is all. Easy to do. Push down on the belt and see how far down the belt bends
