awesome awesome awesome.
Now as for its operation, we've heard mixed remarks about the interior comfort level. Which is ironic, since the interior was supposed to define this new model. What say u?
Also, as for operation: Light clutch or heavy? easy to row up shift & down? easy to find each gear? are the clutch pedals easily adjustable? Any break in recommendations? I've heard both great and fair exhaust note sounds on youtube. How is the note while driving? Sound meaner with the windows down? How is visibility? how about...ok I'll stop now.
ok..good questions,,,The seats are hard..not enough padding...the gen IV seats were comfortable, the Gen V not so much. The leather and build quality of the seats along with the power adjust-ability of the seats are awesome and almost make up for the comfort...but I think they need another 1/2" or so of cushion...as my ass doesn't have it built in as I am a slim guy. The interior is nice and kinda has an Italian design look to it...the gauge cluster and data/Nav screen are awesome and I haven't even come close to defining all the details..Although I synqed up my I phone really fast and was playing music and taking calls in seconds ( no cables)
The Clutch is sooo much lighter and shifts much better than the Gen IV . Thanks in part to the aluminum flywheel. Instantly noticeable and improves the driveability of the car.
The peddle adjustments are on the left side of the steering column so you dont have to lean down to adjust the peddles..real nice
I always break in my cars gradually . the manual advises against hard full throttle acceleration untill after 500 miles..but thats the same thing they have been saying for years..
I dont believe in hard break-ins..but I also wont baby the car either,
The exhaust is a little more " cracklier " when you rev it in nuetral.....sounds a little different than the stock Gen IV a little louder I guess...
Viability is about the same
