HELP!!! Need series 10 input before 6 today!

[Mikem53]

It might be harder to live with a color you don't care for than to
Lose a few gadgets that you don't really need. Just sayin..
This is more of a minimalist sports car that doesn't really need auto
Climate, keyless start... The HIDs would be nice.. But the car is fun as hell without that stuff.
But if red makes the car for you.. Then think twice before you do it..
I like the less is more approach in this kind of car..

BTW2: My red car had 200 miles on it before I even bought it because it was delivered to me by someone driving it from another dealership ... 195 miles away. They used a full tank of 86 octane then as well as filling it up for me with another tank of 86 ....

Do it..!!

HID headlights with LED Daytime Running Lights
Dual-zone automatic climate control
Smart key and push start button
Frameless rear view mirror
Individually numbered 1 of 2500

10 Series is worth the extra $1500.

The real question is:

When buying a sports/fun car, you have to buy the car because you LIKE IT, not because it's a GOOD DEAL.

Otherwise, eventually the "good deal" aspect will fade, and you will feel miserable driving something you didn't absolutely want.

I had this same dilemma when I bought mine. I really wanted the Firestorm, but I liked the extra features of the 10 Series so much more. Ultimately, I went with the 10 Series, and here's why:

Limited Edition means the car is going to hold its value much better. Each one has a badge number, and there are 2500 in total.

I totally lucked out that my dealership had a 10 Series MT when I went to buy my car. I hear there were only something like 700 of them made. I would have definitely got a base model MT over a 10 Series AT.

Anyways, I'd definitely recommend getting the 10 Series. It's well worth the extra $1,500. And if you don't like the color... you can always paint it or get it vinyl-wrapped later on.

Silver doesn't show dirt like any other color would, but I just love the Firestorm on the twins. If I didn't have a red jeep, I was taking a red FR-S (opted for black and kind of regret that some...). I had a silver prelude back in the day and even though I washed it massive amounts, it rarely ever "looked" like it needed it. The metallic silver was a B**** to color match when I got rear ended, though - just an additional point.

That being said, the HIDs, keyless ignition, and updated climate control would proooooobably be enough to sway me back to silver.

Your choice, friend. Red in color or upgrades on silver!

Oh gawd, he has to be joking. Tell him to check his tire pressure. Suspension can also feel different during different weather/temperature.

definitly worth it, its all about the little things love it more than a base frs

[ravenblackfrs]

Would 83 or whatever octane you said really cause an issue that long lasting? I've never even heard of 83 octane. I didn't think it went lower than 87. Throw some 100+ in it... find it at any race shop or motorcycle store... that ought to give you some "boost"... lol.

Btw, hope you went for the 10 series. The 13 is going to be limited edition one day, but the 10 series is going to be even MORE limited edition!

I love my 10. I use to pull out my pretend key and try to start my car. But now it's all about gundam action push start now! too awesome! The extra features make the car look alot more luxurious as well. DO IT.

Think about it, which do you prefer, the color which is used to appeal to people from the outside? Or the interior, which is used to appeal to YOU. So for me, Series 10 is a better pick. This of course comes from the viewpoint that you would be inside the car most of the time driving it instead of staring at it.

DO IT.

AND THE WINNER IS:

Meet number 2361

The automatic light switch is what sold me ... I hate turning my lights on and off. The push button start and HID were also something I liked.

Now I have to figure out those neat looking eyelash headlight things

Great choice!!!
