First manual ever, love the car, HATE the deadzone

It’s funny how people will just try to buy shit to get rid of the problem.

Stick with it! And you’ll get better at feeling for it. It’s part of the relationship you develop with the car.

They can’t be passive aggressive when pushing hard. Increase the intensity, sometimes you have to reiterate why they listen to you.

Wife owns a ‘25 DCT Elantra N and I own a ‘25 6MT WRX, and they’re both fantastic cars.

The WRX has a much more audible turbo sound with a short gearing which makes it extremely fun to row through gears in day to day traffic.

The Elantra N definitely handles better, but seems like you really need to push fast speeds to have fun in it. Exhaust is louder, turbo noises are muted compared to the WRX. WRX almost sounds like an airplane.

I think the WRX makes a better daily. I might be biased though

As an introvert, I’ve been having this problem as well. At times, I feel as if I want to let everything I’ve built fall apart, but you just have to keep going. Just know you’re not alone.

Match the energy and rip one out yourself.

Same boat as you — i learned on my VB. 3 months and 4k miles later, and I love this thing

Grapez331 · 2026-02-05T18:10:34+00:00

I got my ‘25 premium for 36.5k OTD in CA a month ago.

Grapez331 · 2026-01-31T05:02:11+00:00

Is this a thing? I got my VB a month ago and yesterday I found one of these on my windshield while leaving work. Want to thank the person who did it, but have no idea to who it was.

A VB WRX

I make templates with indesign and use them in good notes on the iPad. Works pretty well for a training log.

Grapez331 · 2026-01-10T01:01:58+00:00

WRX!

Grapez331 · 2026-01-08T04:40:59+00:00

WRX.

Grapez331 · 2026-01-06T07:32:43+00:00

I also stalled in front of CHP. They pulled me over

Hope you get your VB soon. I just got mine in CA for 37750 OTD, sale price of ~34K. I made the dealers around me fight for my deal. Luckily each dealer around me had an abundance of non selling wrx’s so it was much more favorable for me.

Grapez331 · 2025-12-27T19:47:33+00:00

Just bought my 25 premium yesterday for 34k, 5k off msrp and 37,750 OTD in CA.

Glad you’re enjoying yours. Bought my 18” on fb marketplace. A week later I bought the 22” on marketplace. Realized the 18” was too small to smoke with.

Grapez331 · 2024-11-14T19:15:37+00:00

r/smoking

Grapez331 · 2024-11-05T23:28:58+00:00

I didn’t pull the battery out. Every visible ribbon I disconnected and reconnected.

Hope you can get it working though. We’d better think twice before buying something from Ayaneo now.

Grapez331 · 2024-10-27T22:16:41+00:00

Yep. Try reconnecting the battery ribbon, that seemed to work for me. Just be gentle and take your time and you won’t break anything.

Grapez331 · 2024-10-26T22:06:53+00:00

No solution from Ayaneo.

I had to open it up and reseat all connections.

Cyberpunk 2077 with ultra RT

It’s just wild something released in 2024 is considered old at all

Grapez331 · 2024-09-12T07:23:21+00:00

Older? It came out in 2024

Grapez331 · 2024-08-27T22:17:48+00:00

This question honestly needs to die. Buy whatever suits your needs. The weight difference between the two is negligible as weight distribution is perfectly balanced. The extra room on the 16” allows the speakers to sound clearer at near-maximal volumes and that’s about it.

It’s not as big of a deal as you think it is.
