On topic, the car needs to be a little more practical imo...

- visibility

- trunk opening

- rear seat access

- interior storage

- lack of cross traffic alert and blind spot monitors in a $45+k car?

- maybe just my lack of experience as my car has ~300 miles on it, but it's hard to place the front end of the car when pulling into parking spaces.


Also, 1SS interior is needlessly stripped down just to make 2SS seem like a good idea. Plastic knee pads and door panels, etc.

The Recaros have the parts to heat/cool but we can't get the controllers? WTF?

Sometimes the throttle seems weird, especially starting out in 1st gear.

The seatbelt flutters at higher speeds with the windows down.

HUD turns green with my polarized Oakleys.

10 Quarts of $10/qt oil needed for oil change. 10!

Seems like the car should come w/o AFM valvetrain and w/ a catch can system.

I have to wait HOW MANY miles before going over 4k rpm?!?!


Ok, that's all I have for now... I do love the car so far, it is awesome. My list of what I like would be MUCH longer.
A lot of people I know just say the long hood just takes some getting used to. I'm still getting anxious when going near curbs in parking lots since I can't quite make out the curb as I turn lol.

Throttle in touring mode is a bit twitchy in 1st, I tried sport and it seems better for sure. Although since this is the suspension mode that seems to dictate throttle, there's some pretty rough roads in Michigan so I tend to ride around in touring when i DD.

Lol once I got my 500mi oil change and got up to about 600-700mi, I've gone past 4k. I don't beat the piss out of it, I just drive it like I'd like. Still no WOTs from a standstill but have done a couple in 2nd or 3rd on on-ramps.
