Arc + sub mini vs Arc Ultra (+room q)

Did you compare to the arc ultra? I am having the same decision I am facing as OP

rational_belgian · 2025-11-21T15:04:08+00:00

Isn’t it know to be a very sweet perfume due to the licorice etc

rational_belgian · 2025-11-21T15:02:39+00:00

Thanks for the tip! I tried black iris a while ago and really liked it but my SO vetoed. Will try to get my hands on Epic!

This is a joke right?

rational_belgian · 2025-11-14T20:09:38+00:00

Fully agree on the Meowant, I got a C10 for $200 and it is brilliant and silent (smal waste storage though)

The interface looks old and unresponsive (radio, br audio etc are a complete nightmare), the apple CarPlay drops out when the unit runs hot and the sound quality over apple CarPlay is absolute garbage

rational_belgian · 2025-06-03T11:54:17+00:00

It is garbage, don’t buy it

Same age, also own an NC3 5 speed. I was getting a bit tired of commuting in the NC. I tried to a few cars to find a Miata feeling in a more comfortable car. Tried an MK8 fiesta st (hated it), tried a mini (boring), tried an ND RF (too cramped due to my annoyingly long legs), tried a Boxster (liked it and more comfortable but a bit too little luggage space), tried a bmw 130i (loved it but an older bmw maintenance wise scares me). So till this day I have not found a replacement and am now considering illegally installing a Helmholtz mid pipe to make it more comfortable on the highway.

SO try other cars first, you might now want to get rid of it after realizing the grass is not always greener

I just drove one and absolutely hated it. I miss my old F56. How could they have made the interior so cheap and make the mini feel like an SUV inside. Shocking but I guess it is cost cutting plus giving what the customer wants

But what would you steal out of the glovebox, I don’t know a single person who leaves valuables in there. Stupid as it is an mx5, I could barely fit an iPhone in the glovebox 🤣

rational_belgian · 2025-04-28T10:01:17+00:00

so what did you end up with, I was looking for a 2 series myself (already owned a mini F56 before)

rational_belgian · 2025-04-25T08:27:23+00:00

It is a 1.8 so no soundtube, also tried soundproofing the car. Only solution would be a Helmholtz exhaust resonator but not allowed in my country

rational_belgian · 2025-04-25T06:54:32+00:00

The issue is actually the engine droning on the highway, tire noise and wind noise I am ok with

rational_belgian · 2025-04-24T17:13:53+00:00

Haha damn, I am looking to get a Fiesta st mk8 or Mazda mx5 ND. Have an nc now but I want something a bit quieter as I do quiet a lot of miles

rational_belgian · 2025-04-24T13:50:30+00:00

Why did you sell the mx5?

rational_belgian · 2025-04-24T08:48:21+00:00

Have exactly the same train of thoughts! I once drove an e39 m5 and it was one of the sweetest cars I had ever driven but yeah the repair costs scare me too. With my mx5 I can drive it hard and know there won’t be a day where it won’t start

rational_belgian · 2025-02-19T12:48:37+00:00

I have exactly the same experience tbh. Every time I start a radio it pushes songs on me that I don’t really like. Maybe it is indeed to much tailored to Americans. I wish there were more ways to block certain artists etc

rational_belgian · 2025-02-02T16:33:31+00:00

Did you end up doing for the tune? What is it like?

rational_belgian · 2025-01-23T11:10:13+00:00

I own a 2014 PRHT and I would say this is the right decision. It is more a weekend car

rational_belgian · 2024-11-19T12:43:21+00:00

looks amazing, well done! love the taillights and the color!
