Just to see since it was relevant to this thread, I started mine in sport mode and gave the throttle a bit of a blip to see. Ambient was 33F at the time, and the temperature warning popped up in the HUD the second it finished the normal startup procedure (and prior to me actually starting the...

I felt the same (had a 2016 Cayman briefly) as far as the roads were concerned. Also agree with you re: Porsche options... it essentially makes buying new one a non-starter for me. Although the base models have gotten a bit better since then, it still takes nearly $15K in "upgrades" to...

They both look beautiful... but yours looks better IMO (though I might be biased). ;)

I strongly considered the Macan GTS myself. Then I decided that eventually my back will probably prohibit me from driving a small sports car before too long... so I'd better get as much time in them as I can before then. Well, I suppose I could do some weight training and then my back would...

Now if only the replacement was larger too, I'd be happy. ;)

With 650 lbft of TQ and only .4 secs faster 0-60 than a stock MKV... the one thing you can guarantee is you'll be spending much less on both gas and brake pads. ;) Plus (though this could be a minus depending on how anti-social you are) I still have at least one person every day comment on my...

But when I put my car on Tinder... then all kinds of freaks tried to drive it behind my back. :lol:

So you didn't wind up replacing the factory amp with anything? I was hoping to hear how a new DSP EQ of the whole system made a massive improvement. ;) Although it looks great and I'm sure the bottom end is completely transformed... I have far more of a problem with the 200Hz-6000Hz range than...

1) Because it's a casual forum with limited moderation? 2) Because 4 is still 80% less than threads on interior rattles, or electronics issues? 3) Because when you've participated in a thread previously, you are alerted to activity in it - but not other identical threads which were previously or...

In 11 months and 10K miles, the only complaints I have with mine were design choices Toyota made and are mostly in the interior. Glad you got out of yours without losing in the deal, but I wouldn't take a single instance as indicative of the whole. Toyota (corporate at least) seems to be quite...

My wallet is already weeping in anticipation... :cry:

Not yet... honestly since I don't track it I've never felt it was underpowered with the stock tune. Once I've got a full year and 15K or so on it (presuming no problems) then I'll do a DP, exhaust, and a mild tune though (~400/450). Thinking I might have to try out the 400Z when it arrives...

I understand completely. I will be seriously amazed if I get more than 3-4 years out of mine before it needs a major rebuild. But that's based mostly on the BMW underpinnings and the fact that I daily mine so it will be at 50K or so by then. I haven't had the problems you're having in this...

What size are the tires? Must be a weird optical illusion but those fronts look larger than the rears - like more sidewall in the pic. BTW those Sparcos actually look pretty nice to me! :thumbsup:

I wouldn't let it ruin your experience forever... but it is a sports car - so there's more potential for problems. Add to that it's a first year model, and German built.... and there's a definite risk there. Part of what makes a sports car fun, is also what makes them less reliable - get a...

Same as others... 7th is top (unless maybe you are "cruising" at 100+)... :headbang: I would guess that maybe you have the transmission set to Comfort/Normal in your custom settings? You can then easily be in sport mode but have it shifting all the way to 8th (and way too early as well). When...

At a guess, the recommended temp is based on calculating the difference in current temp vs. temp & psi at the time they were reset. So if the tires were very cold when they were reset at 36psi... it calculates (guesses) they would need to be 47psi at the present temperature in order to return...

Very nice... where did you find the mirror tilt option? I was looking for that, but I'm guessing it's buried in the advanced settings somewhere and I missed it at the time. That would be very handy since I've switched mine to not tilt at all (via mirror control switch) but would love to have...

Yep. It makes your wallet at least 90% lighter. ;)

You guys make me feel better. I'm almost exactly at 1K miles per month. Purchased second week of January and just hit 8250. Sometimes I think I should drive a different car to work at least one day a week... but I haven't been able to bring myself to actually do that yet. ;) My wife's 2020...
