Is that for all inputs (bluetooth, radio, etc)? Listening to the base audio a little more over the last day. It does improve with volume. I just wish it wasn't so front focused.

Interesting. Yes - base audio is also VERY front focused. At least they are consistent ;)

I wouldn't call the base audio very good. One big issue is there is no fader, only L/R balance. The rear speakers are not very present. I've not heard the KEF, but now I'm thinking maybe the upgrade would have been worth it. Might look into some upgrades at some point, but for now I'm...

Weighed my tire/wheel combo today. These are with the Eagle F1 tires. I forgot to verify the offsets while they were off, but the weights are : Front : 51.9 and 51.95 lb. Tire rack says the tires are 24 lbs - so the wheels would be 27.9/27.95. Probably a little less due to TPMS and the...

No - it's a manual. Non first edition obviously since it's a 25.

Took delivery of my 2025 V6/touring yesterday. I know it's a tiny change and the main difference will be the shocks, but the springs are different than above - lettering on them indicates V6 Touring, but are : Touring Front : 60N/mm Touring Rear : 110 N/mm Not sure at what point they made...

Thanks for the write up. Would you (or the other member) be willing to share the STL for that dipstick ?

Detroit free press say it does not affect the tariffs on cars/parts. https://www.freep.com/story/money/cars/2025/04/09/trumps-pause-doesnt-appear-to-impact-25-tariff-on-autos-parts/83012207007/

Knock on wood, it seems I finally have an Emira inbound. Any recommendations for paint correction/PPF/ceramic coating shops?

With my ordered car not built yet, I contacted my dealer about what they had heard. There were a pretty decent number of 2025 Base 6MT cars at port that were available. Now I'm wondering if these were all orphaned cars, or if they were speculative builds. If they were speculative, why...

I would argue the best way to measure this is is simple rotational inertia measurement of just the wheel. That would eliminate the huge amount of variability of the engine, drivetrain, and etc. But it would make decidedly worse youtube/marketing content.
