frequent low antifreeze?

Have anyone else notice they're filling theirs more frequently? Not saying often but I had to tap it off 3 maybe 4 times in the last year and a half.

I haven't had to fill it up once in 80,000 miles. That's 3 coolant flushes/changes.
Each done at 30k except the last one at 75,000 was for performing diagnostic for no heat. Which turned out to be electrical problem.

If your losing coolant that is a sign of possible leak. If its not an external leak than it is an internal leak. Head gasket-type. A sign of this is coolant pushing back into the reservoir because the combustion chamber is pushing air into the cooling system.

Has the car overheated ever? one time above the half mark of the temperature gauge?

I have noticed also I got mine in October with 36k miles on it I've had to top it off 3 times so far... I took it in and they did a pressure test on it and it came back neg so it's all good so I'm ok with topping it off
