Never watched any of this guys videos before but what is the purpose of the guy in the garage with the piss on Ford t-shirt? He didn't know anything about the car so was he the mechanic at that shop? I think the 2K miles on the tires seems a little harsh and the same for the comments on the steering wheel after some use. He seems like a fan of lightweight and inexpensive imports mentioning the BRZ, Miata, and S2000. Since I've only track driven the R at Track Tour and mine is supposed to arrive today but last I head it was still at Flat Rock it will be interesting to see how his review is compared to the real world. I plan on doing some YouTube videos of normal driving etc once it gets here.

Very good review. Learned a few things. I just flip my mode selector to sport when I drive. I'll need to play with steering settings....

Probably the most comprehensive unbiased review I have seen on this car. Thanks for posting

If he is right about the materiel going bad with use, I might get this done.

Good catch there. :thumbsup:

Looks like its only got 20K in donations so far. So you technically could put the average ADM into raffle tickets at this point and you'd have a 3rd of the percent donated and donations are tax deductible. Plus have a good chance at winning.

Alcantara definitely wears down, but it isn't exactly that the material wears off rather it gets clogged with dirt and becomes matted.

I use some chemical guys basic cleaner (http://www.chemicalguys.com/Nonsense_All_Surface_Cleaner_4_oz_p/spi_993_04.htm), cut it 50/50 with water and apply it with a microfiber rag, then use a toothbrush to gently work the material. After it dries it puffs back up pretty well.
