Pros: - Comfortable as a daily driver
- Great tech
- S58 (>3500 RPM)
Cons: - Default efficient setting for engine/throttle is incredibly lifeless - it should be called Eco
- Lack of torque under 3500 RPM - I sometimes like to short shift but that's not rewarding with this motor at all (I have the AT)
- Weight - those who say they don't feel the weight are nuts - this thing is heavy (I replaced the wheels with forged ones to save weight but it only did so much)
- Steering feel - been covered many times, it's pretty non-existent
- M-Mode display can't be programmed with M1/M2 buttons
Again, nothing earth shattering here but just thought it might be helpful for those doing research. Don't get me wrong, it's an extremely capable car, it just doesn't feel exciting or connected to me... |
I felt pretty much the same way. It's a great car but that doesn't mean it's for everyone. I wish I had gotten the automatic over the manual bc the manual was just a PITA. People will call auto lovers stupid but IDGAF, they're faster and more efficient and technically superior in every way.
I'm looking into the CS and make sure I test drive one first.
