I have a related question: What is the warranty issue? If you sell it now, would new owner not be covered by warranty until May? Or would the entire warranty be void? Just curious. Thank you.

RFs are more prone to that damage than regular tires. Oh, and they collapse after about 25 miles or so deflated, AND get ruined if rolled deflated for any distance, which is why almost nobody would...

Mine almost doubled in the last year, with Progressive (which bills every 6 months). And absolutely nothing changed: same vehicles, same location, perfect driving record (both of us), no claims...

Some Turo renters don't do it as a 'business', but because they bought a car they cannot afford. I'd be curious if Turo paid that guy, and how much. But it's scary to rely on them to insure such an...

It's just a matter of principle. GM raised the prices in '24 like 4 grand (at least the build I was considering), then have the nerve to not only remove a lot of functionality, but charge you for it?...

Sorry to hear that. Hey, do you know your build date (and miles)? Wondering if your DCT is one of the 'updated' ones (with new case, not requiring 2 extra quarts for the track), which apparently are...

Pilotis are driving shoes just as much as a Civic coupe is a sports car:D. But yes, with an automatic car, you don't need driving shoes.

Thank you. Just forgot one question: What is the build date? And do you know if it has the upgraded DCT case (that doesn't require 2 more quarts for tracking), or it's still the old one? I think they...

I think a very important consideration is hip size. If the side bolsters dig into your thighs, you'd be miserable on a long trip. So always try them first:).

That's exactly what I'd do: Just NPP. Still debating if 2LT with GT2 seats, or 3LT. But that'd be it for me.

Almost nobody buys a base car. Options have increased A LOT too. Just Z-51 alone is 2 grand more now than in 2020. And similar increases with both 2 and 3LT packages, plus all other options.

I've seen that since the days of 6-sp automatics, so my guess is it's not accurate anymore. Both the DCT and the latest ZF are 8 speeds, so assuming gearing is the same, they should be equally...

If calipers have 'Z51' on them. But the easiest way to know is to check the tires. If they're A/S, it's not Z-51, which is my guess. I have yet to find an aero-delete Z51... which is the way I'd...

That's true on paper, but we're probably talking a fraction of a percent better, so immesurable IMO. Modern planetary-gear transmissions lock up almost instantly, so it's practically the same as a...

Yes, the AS4 tires are quieter than the S4s or S5s... but I'd rather say they're less noisy, since they're not quiet by any means. In fact, the AS4s are one of the (if not the) noisiest UHP AS tires....

How does a 2LT vinyl interior look vs 3LT? And 2 more questions

Let me start by saying I'm looking for a new '23 COUPE with the updated DCT case, so post July '23 build date, I believe. And ideally a 3LT with just MRC and NPP, white / off-white / silver exterior...
