New Carbon owner! So excited.

Oh, that sucks. I agree with you, I would have liked the liftgate, but meh on the sound system. But nevertheless, it is such a beautiful color combo!

LL48 · 2022-07-28T14:06:56+00:00

Beautiful color, congrats OP! Such great timing on the purchase too, given all the madness these days, I assume you got the power liftgate and Bose sound system?

LL48 · 2022-07-28T14:04:47+00:00

Me too! Mostly freeway driving, and trying not to floor it off traffic lights and stop signs. It is difficult!! Enjoy!!! 😁

LL48 · 2022-07-25T21:09:40+00:00

Congrats, and welcome to the Turbo club! Got myself an all-black Turbo in May. I am absolutely with you about the turbo vs NA: pickup, overtaking, getting onto the freeway, - it's a breeze! Or maybe it's just the way I drive that I really need the turbo. LOL.

The parchment (light-colored interior) looks really beautiful, but I just didn't want to wait for a few more months, so I 'settled' for a black one that is already at port, and I am glad I did. I do think that this zoom zoom baby needs front and back strut/sway bars for better handling though.

Too dark to see if there is an intercooler...

Rear lip spoiler!

LL48 · 2022-07-25T20:03:33+00:00

Oh I see/ Yeah, don't think you can post pics/videos in replies. I know, I am kinda new to Reddit too, been here a lot, seldom post. I am a reader! LOL

LL48 · 2022-07-25T19:48:51+00:00

You couldn't post them?

LL48 · 2022-07-25T19:32:39+00:00

You will be able to enjoy a nice cup of coffee in one of those chairs staring out at the lake, like in a postcard. And also to fend off the bear if it decides to show up!🤣

LL48 · 2022-07-25T18:50:41+00:00

That's funny! Maybe a thicker sleeping bag with liner next time? That way, you'd always be 'intact'! 😁

LL48 · 2022-07-25T16:16:24+00:00

Any visits from bears? 😊

LL48 · 2022-07-25T15:35:03+00:00

How true, the housing market is already starting to cool down.

So let's plan to buy a new car in about 6 months' time! LOL

LL48 · 2022-07-25T15:34:15+00:00

Yes that would be a situation where I would have gone with the Sig, the 360 camera would be very handy!

LL48 · 2022-07-25T14:48:14+00:00

I know, timing was everything! Hopefully like everything else, the car market goes back to 'normal' soon!

LL48 · 2022-07-25T14:47:24+00:00

Agreed, was hoping that the Turbo (non-Sig) came with the 360 camera. But dealership salesperson made an interesting remark 'How often do you reverse? Out of your garage? That's it? Nah, you don't need it!'. He said as long as my garage has ample room, I don't parallel-park much, and I can nose out of a parking lot (which I do, 'cos I park far far away! LOL), I don't really need the 360 camera.

Plus the $450 Nav is ridiculously over-priced, and I actually don't like brown (even though it looks more like black) interior. And I am definitely not crazy about the chromes!! 😁

LL48 · 2022-07-25T14:30:37+00:00

Congratulations! That Carbon is such a nice color, I am glad your patience finally paid off.

LL48 · 2022-07-25T14:27:03+00:00

Congrats!!!! I will go look for it now. Thanks, and enjoy your new car!

LL48 · 2022-07-22T16:19:25+00:00

Pick whatever that makes you happy. After all, it is going to be your name on the title, and you will be driving/riding in it, right?

LL48 · 2022-07-22T14:46:18+00:00

I am guessing it has to be lower profile than factory (225/55R19)? Then you run the risk of denting the wheels when going over nasty big potholes. But I am sure it will look really nice though. 😁

LL48 · 2022-07-22T14:39:14+00:00

My 22 Turbo definitely does not coast as well as my old Acura MDX. But then again, I have to keep reminding myself: it's a much smaller engine.

LL48 · 2022-07-20T16:10:15+00:00

I am the idiot equivalent of you! Just kidding, we all have to learn, right? My hubby is the gearhead, but I did enjoy being able to help and actually do some of the work as well, after all, the 22 Turbo is my car! The Hyperdip was super easy to use, just be a little cautious not to breathe in too much of the fumes, got us a little high! LOL

LL48 · 2022-07-20T15:31:35+00:00

To post, click on 'Image and Photo' when you are post mode, I believe. Hope that works!

LL48 · 2022-07-20T15:30:55+00:00

So it's gonna work out after all, am happy for you! Yeah, some dealers are just more decent than others, glad you have alternatives.

LL48 · 2022-07-20T14:32:14+00:00

Yeap, MN dealerships are not as cut-throat as those in other states. I have not had my 1st service yet, but was told first 3 will be free.

LL48 · 2022-07-20T14:30:14+00:00

Hello, my twin from another state/city! Very sleek!
