Actually thinking about getting one. I test drove one (see my impressions
here) but I didn't have time to notice/check everything.
Questions:
1: What rpms do you get at 70 mph?
There's no youtube video of someone cruising (or even accelerating) in 6th gear. Maybe some one can post a youtube video of cruising, 1/3 throttle accelerating from 60 and WOT accelerating from 60 in 6th gear?
I'll look next time. Sixth is perfectly usable, more so than in the manual FR-S.
2: How accurate is the speedometer (compared to GPS)?
All the old cars I've had were doing around 67 when 70 was indicated.
The newest car I have (a 2016) is SPOT ON.
Why is this an issue?
3: What kind of cruising MPGs do you get (flat road, no AC, 70mph, stock)?
Approx 30 mpg at fillup, which is all that matters. The MPG display is utterly useless for comparisons.
4: How accurate is the indicated fuel consumption?
Why does this matter? Again, a useless indicator for any real-world use.
5: For "early adopters" (people who bought it in early fall) did you notice a big difference in fuel consumption between summer and winter blends of gas?
No.
6: How do you get the high beams with the new headlights?
The switch on the stalk like usual?
Is there a separate bulb (that I can't see in pictures) or is the whole assembly twisting up?
Is it blinding for the incoming traffic or just a tad brighter than low beams?
It's a high-beam, how would it be different? I get flashed often when on low.
Thank you!
