You can - just isn't a menu option.

It's not even about the 'cheaper' adjustable dampers. Magnetic dampers aren't magic, just faster ability to adjust. C5 Z06 (my reference to Corvettes that I've driven) simply moving away from leaf springs in general made a huge difference. But actually listen to what the engineers are saying...

If that were the case that would mean adjustable dampers wouldn't be a thing. You'd only have optimal or your "bad tuning." Expand a little bit from your narrow concepts.

Looks like an engine option is likely off the table with the new Accord not maintaining the 2.0T trim into next generation. So even more likely to be the TLX/RDX 272hp motor unless Honda decides making another 2-4000 K20C1's per year isn't a big deal or that much more expensive. Though I'm still...

Incorrect. Over dampening is exactly what causes the attributes you see in +R mode. It's why matching the spring rate to the dampening rate is one of the most important things to match for ride quality. You can get away with over dampening (or under) to some degree but there are consequences to...

Forget if Savageese said it in the review or in one of his posts here but described as the "pedal dance" which unless you know what they're referring to, would pass over without a second thought. Many cars have a defeat for certain systems generally put in place for testing with a input series...

Hey hey now, you learned one thing from their vid. There exists a traction control defeat in any/indvidual mode without having to reflash the ECU that Sergio needed to do after starting the car for the media rides.

Though ultimately, with any of these factory boosted cars, does out of the box straight line performance even matter enough to define a car by it? Especially since it appears Honda's decision to change the final drive is for traction based acceleration on a track (aka not understeering at full...

What I take away is that the +R mode is closer to the Limited Edition FK8 ride/handling than the standard FK8. Since I think all of the last 2 generation CTR's had no different equipment, just tuning differences. Numerous outlets said the LE had too steep of a dampening curve for most tracks...

Anyone who's really thinking the Type-S is AWD is really just hoping on a prayer. Putting AWD into the Integra isn't what an Integra is and financially it's a huge waste of money. We know Honda has said the next gen Civic is going to all be hybrid/electric next generation so the chassis next...

From a consumer protection viewpoint, that's a huge issue. As that would be like the gas station is skimming $5 off every tank of fuel sold. The difference is more in the amount over the metered amount dispensed varies by station to station but they're not pumping out less than the readout if...

[shrug] There's an inline measurement device in the gas pump fuel line that's always at full capacity as there's no air in the gas line. Gas pumps are tested regularly (note the certification stickers on gas pumps) to show they're dispensing the indicated amount of fuel or more from some...

Remember, listed capacity and actual level the gas pump can pull gas from the tank aren't the same. I'd say 11.8 average fill on a 12.4 tank is actually pushing it a bit from a fuel pump and a little bit gas tank sediment point of view. Just surprised if the light clicks on that late.

I don't get these $14k+ numbers up from the A-spec base price. The TLX jumps from the A-spec FWD at $45,650 to the base Type-S at $53,700 which includes a new engine, SH-AWD, adaptive suspension, chassis improvements, brake upgrades and aesthetic upgrades among some others. $14k+ means CTR...

Was a big thing on TheSmokingTire's Twitter when the Canadian outlets released their first look reviews. Appears the in hand full review has been in the can for over a month waiting on embargoes. Now with these Sonoma Raceway reviews the amount of bouncing in the cabin is unsettling for both...

I'm confused, what does 'don't know where the car is' mean? Does that mean they gave you a VIN and it's lost in transit? Wouldn't they just place you next on the allocation list or just them finding it? Or just a shady way of backing out. As Burlingame called me at $20k over twice in the past...

Highly unlikely. Almost nothing into Hawaii comes shipped directly to Hawaii and nothing for the mainland gets transferred there. Part of the reason why the islands are so expensive is because all of their goods are sent to the west coast first then packed on boats for the islands. The port...

Looks like Fremont, they gave me a 2nd call back yesterday after everyone on their list passed at their $10k ADM + $4k accessories and wanted me to come in. They're holding firm to their markup price but were willing to drop some of the not yet installed accessories (all overpriced) as when I...

Because of the babies who will cry about it. Essentially the car will have to beat out the Megane and/or the RS3 or they'll have a fit. It's crushed FWD or compact record or the car is trash for them. They're not looking for a simple improvement over the FK8 and marketing knows it. [Needless to...

Not all that surprised for Milpitas. They did have a blue FK8 with 23k miles sitting on the floor for a few months asking $54k sticker IIRC. They never contacted me for the new one and I've been in their system for over a year now but I did make it clear if you're charging me P-car or M money...
