JD Power is pretty unreliable because their data comes from customer surveys and not actual claims or dealer data. Hyundai's problem also isn't that everything on them breaks. Its that the dealers are a total pain in the ass. My wife had an Elantra for years and we'd take it in around twice a...

God yes. Hyundai dealerships are the reason I won't buy another Hyundai and why I didn't look at the Genesis SUVs when shopping for one recently. Its a shame really because they make a pretty good car at a good price, but my god its like their recruiters wait outside of MLM meetings and hire the...

Its more involved than simply changing the wheel over, but you can get an idea with this guide for installing the heated wheel on the base Integra: http://www.urvi.net/forumfiles/SB/BII19600-28.PDF

You can install a heated steering wheel in a base Integra, so I'd imagine it will work in the ITS unless they've used the relay spot for it in the fuse panel. But, its a pretty involved job that requires removing two airbags and rerouting some wiring. You'll also have to do some surgery to pop...

I just don't see any value proposition for the ITS at 52k. Its pitch to the market is its in a segment of one. There are no other 300+ HP cars with the back seat and cargo room that also have a stick. If you need that combination, its this or a CTR. I think most people are not that rigid in what...

There is no rear vent, rear USB, or rear heated seats. The passenger seat is manual. Your family will be very disappointed coming from a Macan interior. Here's a video showing the ITS interior. At 16:50 you can see the manual control for the passenger seat and the host (who was given access...

There will be more than 200 people trying to buy one in the hope they can flip it for a profit on the used market. Website likely also going to lag or crash because they almost certainly didn't clue their web devs into what's going to happen. Then, even if you do get the reservation you still...

It seems like the OP there is still updating the list in his first post. Not sure its 100% up to date, but he added something I said a day or two ago.

Matt is one of those borderline cartubers that you can basically guarantee will support whatever narrative the OEM wants to push because if they don't they will (or think they will) get blacklisted by that OEM and it will kill their channel/income. So, him saying the pricing makes sense isn't a...

Yeah the 10 speed on the V and V-Blackwings is a total letdown. Pretty clear GM assumed everyone who was an enthusiast would be buying the stick and the auto is set up for the old Caddy buyer who doesn't break the speed limit on their way to golf. I feel like they probably don't sell many...

Mustang is better as a daily, but the chassis on the 1LE blows the doors off the GT on track. I'm also biased against the GT though because I'm still regretting selling my GT350 and seeing a GT reminds me.

Absolutely stay far far away from that 10 speed. Not only are the downshifts horribly slow (and upshifts are jerky and slower than first rate autos like the ZF8), but its incredibly unreliable. Ford has a half dozen class action lawsuits against it for their version of this transmission. GM's...

Problem with the 1LE is that tires and brakes get eaten and are pricey. Mag ride shocks also don't hold up long term and leak faster if you track the car regularly. And they aren't cheap to replace. These cars are like the poor man's BMW on the used market in that it looks cheap to get into the...

I don't have any inside info, but I can basically guarantee that these accessories won't be required for launch cars. For one thing Acura is calling that optional wheel copper not bronze so this document is definitely not an official Acura document. But beyond that, the colored...

The honest dealer thread lists a dealer in CT and one in MA that seem to be selling at MSRP. If that info is accurate you can probably save the trip...

It doesn't have to be low volume, but I would assume that's how they've planned it. Toyota came out and admitted they were limiting GRC production to keep it expensive and sought after. Most car makers build less of the hot models than people that want them. Exclusivity, real or perceived is a...

Definitely go look at the CT4 and CT5 if you're considering the BW options. The 4's backseat is so small that its basically a 2+2 with 4 doors. Smallest backseat in a 4 door car I've ever seen. The 5 is much roomier in back but the headroom in back is still horrible. Not good for anyone tall or...

Its funny the dealership I'd been talking to in Virginia is doing just the opposite. Anything you get in the first 200 are going to be $5k ADM, but if you put a deposit down on one of their later allocations you can buy it at MSRP if you're local.

Matt Farah is my go to on how comfortable seats will be on a huskier person and he complimented the seat comfort. Doesn't mean it would be great for long drives, but if someone as big as him is comfortable I think most people would be just fine.

My conspiracy theory is they priced it at 52k to prevent the CTR market from collapsing. If they launched it at 48k including destination like people were guessing, even a 5k markup puts it below the average current CTR transaction (which is around 54-55k with ADM). They probably worried demand...
