I don’t get this opinion. What does build quality have to do with “what this cars about”? It’s marketed as the more daily, street version of the Type R, therefore it should be more solid and refined. It’s not a track car where shit rattling all over the place doesn’t matter. There’s no denying...
Bringing this back up. Tires have been in my heated basement since I took them off in March. Really just don’t have a use for them so let’s do $400 for the set. If you live within a few hours of Buffalo I’m happy to meet somewhere in the middle or willing to ship.
You’ll have to let me know how it goes. All the other posts about the recall say it’s a quick fix so not sure what West Herr has it marked as. I’m having them looking at some bad engine rattles while it’s in there so hopefully they can take care of everything.
I’m surprised your recall took so little time. I’m taking mine in on Friday and the dealership told me it’s a lengthy fix and I’d need to leave the car.
Yep my 7.5 was $25k and nothing as bad from a build quality with it coming from Mexico. I’ve been better about not getting too irritated with the rattles cause the cars so fun to drive, but I had a new engine rattle during idling pop Up tonight and they’re all driving me crazy again.
Let me say that I love this car. I’ve never had more fun driving a car, but my god are the rattles everywhere in this car. Driver door, glovebox, dash, engine idle. I know there’s not a lot of sound deadening material, but the interior build quality of this thing is just terrible. My GTi that...
No heated steering wheel option. I live in the northeast and with a garage, never really found it necessary. Definitely thicker than the stock one and much less slippery material than the stock leather.
I put on the Revesol wheel and it’s perfect. IMO the carbon fiber wheels look really tacky and cheap. I’d never be willing to drive without the airbag.
im just curious that if it was an interior/plastic piece, why wouldn’t it be present somewhat at any level, instead of just being quite loud of 4500? Either way it’s going to the dealer next week.
I can track it to at least the driver side. It just sounds like the normal wastegate sound on steroids. Only hope is that it’s not a random plastic item since it doesn’t do it any other point except coming off throttle over 4500
That’s what I thought as well based on other posts here. Definitely much louder than any other video I’ve seen though. Going in Friday. Hopefully nothing crazy.
