Thanks for the advice.

Still wondering if I got a lemon for a HD radio, or if everyone one has the same problem with the base radio. I would have paid for a better radio had I know this would be such a step down. Problem with ordering a car that is not launched yet i guess, but I assumed it would be at least as good as my other coupe.

And still looking for DCT info, found a few things here but mostly "overview" type of stuff.


If I set the cruise at 45-50 MPHish:

in "D" mode I'm in 7th gear
in "SPORT" mode I'm in 6th gear
in "M/S" mode I'm in 5th gear

Seems like "SPORT" is an in between mode to me.


I'm a long time manual owner, but though I would stop fighting against the current. I do like for my commute, but I really wonder what it will be like on track day? Anyone else made the switch recently?

I'm not sure I like the rev - matching. Seems almost like a lurch to me, but I'm just used to the engine brake when I down shifted (even with a blip).

thanks,
Appreciate 0
