I love it!! How do you find it? Is it as difficult to live with daily as some of the reviews have made out? I.e heavy clutch and poor comfort.
Thanks very much.I dont think its that bad as a daily, really. Clutch to me feels a lot lighter than the 2011 STI I drove. I wouldnt say the weight is a concern, but it can grate on you in stop start traffic as its very sensitive at the bite.
Comfort wise, it is very firm, no arguments there. I am ok with it every day, but I can totally understand why a sane person wouldnt be. Numb bum is a common ailment if you are on the motorway for a few hours, and full drinks in the cup holders will splash out on the average UK quality road.

Had this 2 mohths now after selling a 3.0 Spec b tourer, this thing is epic.
As its a facelift it feels more refined that my 3.0. This has full leather, paddle shift 5 speed auto, usual Billlies plus STI springs, strut brace , splitter and aero kit all factory fitted. I have not seen another the same.
Yes it does surprise a few people, new S3 the other day could lose me, 2 nippers in a 370Z i left for dead, followed me and when I stopped , asked what the hell it was! They thought it was just some old bloke in a family estate ( i am only 48 cheeky sods).
The twin scroll motor pulls and pulls and is very linear, even on full boost accelarating the gear changes are super smooth and no fuss, it just takes off.

Interesting! Is there a recommended guide for that or is it in the manual?
Something along the lines of hold the TCS button for about 20sec, turn the car off and then back on and you should have a small light in the bottom right of the dials indicating that the hill holder is now off.
