CTR is allocation only. Boost Blue is one of the most common color made. If the Dealer is charging you ADM, call a different Dealer who would do MSRP or below. Not the official Honda inventory search, but some have used this to find one. I don't think any US Dealer received a 2027 yet...

Glad that you got one for a great deal! The gas tank is indeed very small for its fuel consumption. The Golf/GTI/Golf R has 14.5 Gallon tank. That 100-ish miles loss (3 gallons) easily translates to "I have to top off the car every time I go somewhere". But doesn't make much of a difference...

No pre-made car cover will guarantee to work with a specific aftermarket wing. I would say your easiest solution is to find a universal cover for a larger car that will be big enough to fit (you can't stretch a car cover for the most part).

This can be fixed at any decent independent shop (general HVAC problem), but sometimes Dealer may do you a favor if you ask nicely when you just barely got out of warranty

Misha may have perfectly demonstrated why FK8/FL5/ITS guys refuel around half tank on track days

Please close thread. I got it figured out.

Let me try again the next time I drive it. The last time I tried to do that, e-brake did not disengage. May be I'm not high enough on the friction point. I did drive a different car that has electronic e-brake that is Automatic. If I am in drive and e-brake on, the e-brake will let go after a...

I just learn to live with it somehow.

Mine is Sonic Grey and I ended went with Apex Wheels with Anthracite (it's like a lighter side of gunmetal). If you look at the OEM Forged Wheel Marketing Photos, it's kind of like that except the photo is pretty bright and turn the grey into a different shade. It'll look darker in reality...

When it comes to pothole damage, more sidewall > just Forged Wheels of the same size Forged or Cast, you can still bend and or break a wheel. Forged wheels are technically stronger than Cast when it comes to a large impact. Lower weight wheels is always welcomed in the same way as you are more...

You got DM.

I was dumb. The 50th Anniversary Edition GTI was a thing close to a year ago. I wonder if the FL5 or GTI (less the fact that it's a DSG) is easier to drive. At least the GTI is way lesser of a Pogo stick.

Hope, when available, someone will pit the GTI 50th Anniversary Edition against a production FL5

I mean... Broken Clutch Pedal was a thing for Evo X. That is made of plastic too.
