Dislike: handling, gas mileage, seat support, visibility, body styling
Why did you like the Brembo brakes? Is it because they're Brembo branded? I've heard they're monobloc, but they fade pretty quickly on the track.

I would imagine that could be fixed fairly easily with a new set of pads...

The 3.8 Coupe, no matter what version is a GT car. They can label it anything they want, put all the colorful junk brakes they want, itll STILL be a GT car and thats EXACTLY why i got it. Big power, cushy ride, beautiful interior, tech galore, shitty MPG and the sweetest sounding V6 Ive ever heard.

Same is largely true with factory brakes on the twins. No stickers needed.

To be fair, and I honestly reiterate this to everyone, the fact that they stock fitted all-season Bridgestone Potenzas to this car is a disgrace.

I find myself spinning through almost every single gear in the rain, and even in dry conditions, the car slides instead of gripping.

This close to just ordering Pilot Super Sports and taking a loss on the factory tires.

Lol, someone didn't get the memo about Hachirokus and Intial D.


I think the Prius tires are great and do exactly what they were supposed to do (have fun at low speed and get good mpg). Buy another set of track wheels and rubber, that's what the car was designed to hold in the back.
