I am just about to buy the car, i noticed the little sticker saying premium fuel only. Any z people out there with a similar model, that use regular fuel in it? Any problems?

It says Premium Only for a reason. It's because this is the lowest grade fuel your car can operate efficiently with. Your engine can start knocking if you aren't using the right fuel, and if it does it's time to go up a grade. Use what your car tells you to.

You would think that because it says premium only, that would mean use only premium.
But on the non-sarcastic side, the octane of fuel is what the timing of the car is based on. The car will run on other fuels, just not as effeciently due to the timing change.
Stick with premium, is 20 cents more that big of a deal? You afford the car, you should afford the gas.

On this generation Z the premium unleaded fuel is required. The reason is that lesser octane fuel make the exhaust system temp. too high and will eventually destroy the exhaust system. This could also effect the engine. Spend the 20 cents/gallon. If you drive 20,000 miles a year at 20 mpg, you'll only spend about $4/week extra!!!

From another premium user, sure if you want to pay for another engine down the line. Fast cars = fast engines which requires higher octane. If you don't use premium, you might just want to buy a regular car with a lower horsepowered engine. It would be the same.
Love my turbo.
