I’ve driven over 3k miles since I got the car on thMay 18th, looking for excuses to drive the it - any errands i’m down, wife liking that part.
Observations:
- Holy sh!t this thing is fun! Have to stay out of sport mode but can’t resist. Found out quick gas mileage not so great in this mode but I don’t care, new default for me.
- actually better daily driver than I thought it would be. Expected harsher ride, Did not get magnaride so don’t know what I’m missing there.
- people love these cars! Never driven anything that people seem to recognize and react to as much.
- is it just me or does everyone with a Japanese car want to street race?
Questions:
- so as careful as I have been I’ve somehow managed to screw up the underside shield behind the splitter with a parking lot stop. Lucky no damage to splitter. So much so the left front splash guard rivets have popped out and It is loose. Curious if any of you have done this and what was the fix.
- this ‘premium’ 9 speaker stereo blows! Have seen the massive thread on replacing, want to at least add powered sub if not replace all speakers- wondering what you guys have done to address.
- visible rust on the wheel hub already? WTF? That is the grey part between the wheel and rotor. Have oy used McGuires wheel cleaner.
- at what psi do you run your ps4 michies? Had a screw removed from the back right yesterday, was running hot at close to 40, backed down after repair to 37.
- live in STL and this is my daily driver. That being said are all seasons enough to get around in light to moderate winters? If so what tire would you recommend?
I’m sure I will come up with more and in the meantime appreciate any feedback insight you can share.
