2021 GLI

Nice plates!.

A 2022 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid. Don’t be jealous!

I got this email from Toyota a couple weeks after I took delivery:

Sorry, but just one quick question. Hooked up my CTEK today and my car will be in hibernation (Northern Ohio) until spring. Can I just leave the unit plugged in or do I need to unplug periodically? I think it’s fine to leave it powered up, but just want to confirm. Thanks!

Start with your insurance carrier(s). As long as you have sufficient coverage, they should take care of you and then they will go after (subrogate against) the other drivers if they were liable.

I really like the clutch feel. Take up is very linear, and I felt comfortable with it after just a few minutes. I was coming from a ‘21 GLI (good), and before that a Civic Si (good), WRX (crap), Focus ST (good), Mazdaspeed 3 (fair), and GTI (good). I’d call the Supra as good as any of these, if...

Agree 100%…I’m as thrilled with the car as you are. It’s more the principle of the thing with me — the fact that these are known issues (specifically the wind buffeting and the hatch release), yet they chose to do nothing 4 model years in. They were known issues to me, but that didn’t stop me...

My ‘21 GLI had adaptive cruise that worked great, so it’s certainly doable. Like wind buffeting and unsynced dual climate control, I think Toyota just decided to make us live with it. I’m personally ok with it, but their “continuous improvement” seems to not include creature comforts…and we...

I forgot to add “greed” after Supply & Demand on the dealers’ part above.

The law of Supply & Demand on the dealers’ parts, and a combination of impatience and FOMO on the part of we the buyers. I oringinally had a deposit down on an Absolute Zero, and then I had the opportunity to move to a CUL for a few thousand more. That was an easy decision, but not at $85k (or...

Doug DeMuro just dropped a very positive review of the manual.

Bump. Can anyone walk me through the math?

I’m only 350 miles in, so have a ways to go before letting loose. I’m one of the few who follow recommended break-in procedures on my cars, and it hasn’t failed me yet!

Can someone explain the discrepancy between the actual sticker price, which makes no mention of or charge for Driver Assist, and the website that shows it is a mandatory option with a >$1k upcharge? That changes my answer for how much over MSRP I paid. if I go by the Toyota website number, and...

Regarding the short wheelbase, I’m coming from a ‘21 GLI so the car’s quicker responses to my input (which I assume is at least partly due to the wheelbase) is causing me to recalibrate. The hood is long, and you do feel like you’re almost sitting on the rear axle, but I like that aspect of it...

I’m about 300 miles into my A91MT and the driving experience is excellent. I’ve been driving manuals for more than 50 years, and this one ranks way up there. Clutch take-up is light and very linear, and the shifter feels notchy and precise. It has a nice, heavy feel to it. The rev matching is...

The shifter has a great feel to it. There’s very little play in it. Clutch take-up is very linear and makes it easy to drive. The rev matching is awesome but I have to stop myself from blipping the throttle. I don’t see a need to disable it.

I’ve wanted a ‘vette and a 911 since grade school, but was always too practical to do anything about it. I’ve had a GTI, GLI, WRX, Speed3, and Focus ST because they were fun and practical. By r the time I decided to get less practical, they stopped making a manual ‘vette and I realized that I...
