14k on my 2022 and it’s as perfect as it can be. I do have around 1 Million Miles of manual transmission driving experience. I don’t see it failing me, driving stick involves way more than clutch and shift - the timing, the finesse, the road conditions all affect shift quality.

You’re hearing it from someone who has driven the FK8 for 55k or so miles. The Miata is the better sports car in my opinion. But that doesn’t detract from the Type R’s merits and what makes it valuable - they’re very different. But what’s more rewarding? To me it’s the Miata. The Type R’a reward...

Well… I own an ND Club with the Recaro, BBS package - and it’s a better car than my FK8. Proper sports car can’t be beat, and it’s a whole lot more fun. It’s slower, but it’s funner. You can’t go wrong with a Miata, but I hope you find your FL5.

It’s not an FL5 - but the differences are so micro it’s actually negligible when it comes to deciding if you’re spending your dollars properly. Test driving an FK8 is good enough, as that’s a great car. MSRP is the max this car is worth and that’s already pushing it.

If we collectively agreed, we could force them to discount. But with people here self-convincing themselves that a $5k markup is okay because of the wheel locks… lol. And that’s on a car whose MSRP is already overpriced.

Mr. Tint in San Jose, I did two cars there, including my FK8 and they were great.

Yeah was referring in general. I wouldn’t expect norm reeves to ever get to MSRP, but I think they’d get to $3-5k eventually.

They have so much history. They know there are still some suckers out there willing to pay. They’re just in the process of mentally justifying it. Once the MMC CTR comes around those who paid they markups and wish they could hop into the MMC will feel the pain of it. And they’ll mentally...

It’s still crazy to me how anything over is okay. As if the MSRP wasn’t already high enough. I still remember when I got my brand new 2018 FK8 for $37k OTD + Fees here we are pushing $20k on top of that. Just nuts. Surprised the market is still like that too.

Man, the fact that anyone would even entertain this car priced like that.

High performance engine. It’s supposed to drop instantly. To faster it drops the better it is.

Wait, what? lol no. People used to complain about rev hangs and now that revs drop as they should, people are complaining? The revs dropping on an up shift is exactly the way the car should behave, mechanically. You either have to upshift really quickly, or blip the throttle while upshifting to...

This shit hurts.

D Dear gawd.

Seems like an easy fix! Bumper components and airbag.

Integra Type S

Maybe we just aren’t in the same situation. But I would get rid of a car prior to needing to drive two hours to get it serviced, talk to people, wait, see them fail, try again. Time. Money. Effort. Energy. By all means I would try, obviously for a Type R. But seeing my car even messed with so...

It’s not that easy for everyone. Some people live in a small town and have 1 or no dealers. They would need to drive hours to get to one: add the miles and inconvenience to that. So it’s fair to expect any Honda branded dealership to behave consistently, even if they’re independent. Honda is...

I always say that when one buys a car, they’re also buying into the brand, and into the dealerships. Which is why a $60k Civic (not what you paid) is not okay under any circumstance. I am most certainly on my last Honda.

Not terrible. Did you also have the seat rattle? Gone?
