    Stones that gets between the front brake rotors and the dust shield is a pain in the ass especially after it rain or your drive where there are lots of pebbles and stones. After you get your wheels all shiny and black, they are dirty in no time. And the rear end and under the doors gets very dirty are driving in the rain. But I still love her lol.

    I own the '17 Si Coupe and havent had any issues with it. My apple car play has frozen 2 times for the past year(every day use)), but a quick restart fixes it. Never had a stone in the regular (non-brembo) brakes, didnt know that is an issue, i was thinking about getting some and now i''m reconsidering after i heard that noise lol

    Angenommen sie fahren im Comfort Modus 100 km/ . Schalten den Sportmodus ein ohne das Gaspedal zu verändern , so fahren sie irgendwann 130km/h . Das ist so . 13:50 die Hupe ist mausetot . Das ist bei meinem Type R nicht so . Die ist falsch angeklemmt . - Dieser Type R ist in seiner Klasse absolut unantastbar . Sensationell im Benzinverbrauch , sensationell günstig bei den Wartungskosten . Sensationell im Handling .

    I had the same problem with the infotainment system. After bringing it to the dealership multiple times, they replaced the unit for me and I haven't had any issues with the new one.

    I think it’s the rarity of the Type R. I recently purchased a GR Corolla, and sometimes I look for Type R’s on the road and barely see them. Your model, or the FL5 are rare to see.

    The fk8 looks like a supercar because of it’s aggressive design. Very few cars below 100k look more stylish than this.

      Unless you want maximum driver engagement and control. Yeah, then you still need a good manual transmission.
