For example, Daily Driver mentioned the AT gets two sound settings for the piped in engine noise (loud and not so loud) while the MT only get loud. Neither has the option for off. Time to pull some speaker wires....

And.. re/ BSM, adaptive cc, and other gizmos, I'd personally prefer a car with as little of that stuff as possible.. it's one of the many things I like about ny '13 frs. Ideally, engine, mt, suspension, steering brakes, and some seats... And hand crank windows. Is the base model comparably stripped to the '13 models?

This isn't unusual. For example Cadillac will sell the CT5-V Blackwing with a manual transmission but if you want Super Cruise you have to have the AT.

There is a dedicated speaker behind the dash somewhere. There is no button or menu to turn it off. Turning it off will require pulling a wire or maybe a fuse. Nobody knows where or how to do that, yet.
Several reviewers note that they do not like the sound and they asked why there is no button to control it. Last edited by mazeroni; 08-17-2021 at 12:06 PM. |

I mean most of not all will give a positive review just so they keep getting invited to these driving events.

But the reviews towards it are negative? Did they have a focus group of 17-year-olds?

Posting my review because shameless self-promotion. Also, mine is less of a review, more of a mini-doc.
