The perfect attainable dream car. A beast on the track and the road
This car is the best value to performance ratio you can get. The exhaust and engine sounds better than any other 4cyl on the market, the pops and bangs give it so much more personality than it's competitors. Everytime I get into this car I have to pinch myself to remind myself I'm not dreaming. The warranty was also a huge part of my purchasing decision. I have been a lifelong diehard Honda guy through and through. I've only ever had Honda's and I maintain them the same way I would a Ferrari or collector's car, so they always last and look great over the years. I intend on doing the same with this car. My only small gripes are 1. The pain is WAY too thin and sensitive. No matter what microfiber I use, it will leave microscratches. I've purchased the most expensive non scratch one's on the market and they still scratch this paint. Simply closing the door and placing your hand on the paint will leave micro marring and scratches. This combined with the numerous piano black trim pieces make me afraid to touch the car! I had to shell out $1,500 to get the front end and the rear wing PPF'd for peace of mind... which I did not like. 2. The DCT is...loud. It clatters and clanks constantly and I even brought it in to the dealership fearing something was really wrong with it. This is my first DCT so perhaps coming from traditional automatics it will take getting used to but I'm at 2,500 miles now and it still irks me so much. I have resorted to just having music on while I drive so I don't hear it, as the transmission functions perfectly fine. I do worry about it breaking in the near future, but the warranty helps give me some peace of mind. I do wish it came with performance all season tires instead of the summer only tires because along with the PPF it's another large expense you'll need to incur if you leave anywhere that has winter. I absolutely love my intense blue color with the red trim. The light blue stiches on the seat are unreal. Overall this car punches way above its weight class and is absolutely, my dream car. I'm so grateful to have it.
