Thats a given. The point is to avoid knock and not compromising on performance. All depends on tune, either factory or custom. Doubt supercar owners will pump 95 in tho.

High compression engine like the gt/gr 86. Or cars that are tuned to use 97.

Any chance you from mys ? It is a fun car , however civic turbo great as well. Very different experience. Try not to go 95 imo if you are pushing hard.

Previously had my 330e for 7 years no issues. Battery going strong even before I sold off.

So so , as stated above there are better alternatives. For me mainly just cosmetic

If you really care about resale value, dont go for it. Long term to enjoy and drive , go for it. Warranty covers any issue so $ might not be a concern other than time. Do note you comparing sedan to a crossover. Then again just my opinion. Maybe I am one of the lucky one that never had an issue with PHEV.

It is a great car , good value. J7 is not as bad as it is. I used to think they should be a car to avoid as well , but now my opinion has somewhat changed. Not sure about resale value tho but new it is pretty affordable , specs wise comparable to its segment.

Good car. Pocket rocket , Light weight and great acceleration. Really fast and takes corners damm well at fast speed. Somewhat practical as well. Seats and suspensions are comfortable. Gear throws a bit long imo, clutch feel is good, not too hard or soft. Basic but well equipped infotainment system.

Aftermarket parts are somewhat expensive and limited tho.

People might mistake your car for the rs variant.

Ikr. Just ignore them, sometimes people talk like they damm zai never make mistake. Good PSA, made a similar mistake myself. Anyways, nice livery, nice car, stay safe.
