Thanks, gents - I may end up going to Scott Clark for this new recall just out of convenience. Who wants to be the guinea pig..? ? My dealership interactions should (hopefully) be very limited considering I learned I can clear the 1st oil change/service reminder myself. Though if Town and...
Ah, right! I misread in my haste. Admittedly I'm a bit twitchy when it comes to dealers. I specifically sought out an unlocked 2021 so I'm on high alert given all of the EPA madness, etc... :spaz:
Context:

I'd suggest trying an AP1 before making your decision. Paraphrasing here -- 'The AP2 may be the better car, but the AP1 is the better S2000'.
FWIW, I'd sell every car I have or had owned before I'd sell my AP1.
TBH, I for the most part agree/expect that, stock for stock. However.... I'll happily bang gears in the 'slower' car, rather than simply hold the wheel straight in the moderately 'faster' car. We're still out there, and chomping at the bit...
The irony of owning a 2020 'maro and complaining about styling is palpable. ?
