weve done about 2500 miles in four months and it hasnt dropped at all.
it shouldn't loose any, check underneath when its hot to see if you got any tiny pinpricks or leaks. But dont worry , if you can top up , and if your not loosing more than a half a pint per petrol tankful.

I stick my head under the bonnet to check things but only remembering topping up the coolant on a few occasions in the last 10 years.

Mind you it's not that often I pop the bonnet LOL
