Does any of them help in blowing away the dust on my back? I hate those dust or sand on my rear window/door.

Personally, I prefer the AC Schnitzer spoiler if I have to pick up one.

Does E70 need to change the ATF?

Hi all,
Does E70 need to change the ATF regularly?
I don't find anything about ATF in the user manual and just doubt if I need to
do so.

Thank you very much for your feedbacks.
