Haha it was actually a tiny portion of a photo - my car was in the background of a photo and it happens to be the only shot of it I have access to right now. Plus pixels were expensive in 2009 when this was taken 🤣
I had done this in the past with other cars and looked everywhere the other day to find the dimensions to see how large I could potentially go with the FL5 (and found nothing).. now I see this 🤣
Nice! so... how long / wide are those mattresses?
They try to make the design seem modern, but they are so plasticy... I know I've already said this - but my comparison of late is always with the Mazda 3 (no I don't own one) because I personally think they have outdone themselves since around 2014 with interiors. It's not even in the same...
My issue with the GRC is that it maintains so much 'Corolla'... thr dashboard, plastics, design etc. IMO The normal Corolla has materials and a feel (and drives) like a cheap car (unlike Mazda for example - or even Honda)... so in terms of drive I can't say for the GRC.. but the fact it seems...
It's not just you - In Australia we are forever getting things with features removed because 'that's what the market wants' or simply to save some money to reduce the price (and then make it more expensive anyway 😂)..
In this case we seem to be getting some of the extras in Aus for the FL5, but...
Yep - for me the very 'busy' reflector style rear reverse (clear) lights look extremely out of place especially when you consider how sleek the front lights are - seem like they were designed by different teams who didn't bother talking to each other.
But the night shots where only the red is...
Honestly, will everyone just quit it. Stop posting photo's... The more you post, the more annoyed I get that I'm not able to buy the thing yet 🤪
PS. More Black photos plz (apologies for the red thread hijack).
I agree with everything you said - except for the fact that a rear bias (or simply rear wheel drive) will inherently have a built-in head-start advantage towards feeling more connected to the road (if all other things are equal) due to the shifting of mass during acceleration (pressure /...
I regret to inform you, you've been ejected from Type R. Please leave all clutches and gearsticks where you found them and say your goodbyes. Bags will be inspected upon leaving.
Yes that's true, however in that case, the start speed compared to the overall lap time is a much smaller percentage - but yes.
Either way, what I was really getting at however, was whether the FK8 vs FL5 difference in lap time at Suzuka was just purely down to how well the final corner exit on...
