Some may fit the bill, many will be stereotyped here. I would bet with the proliferation of quiet electric cars this stands out as more of an issue. I would also bet that the electric car buyer has more bias against louder ICE cars. I also wonder if they are hypocritical in their criticism...
If starting all over again it's important that you use the right kind of car wash soap to get the surface fully cleaned out. Something like this is good I believe:

Backing into a parking spot the other day my guidelines were perfectly dead center in between the lines but then when I got out of the car the car was definitely skewed toward one side of the parking spot. Has anyone else noticed this?
Same here. I have had about 10 different manual transmission cars and this one definitely requires a clutch hold of about twice the amount of time as any other car I've owned or it will abruptly stall and stop.
I completely understand your feelings as I came out of a 2020 Hyundai Veloster N Performance Pack Manual. It was definitely more playful, very fun. The ITS is just so competent though, that it actually gives me more joy. I am 62 BTW. Question though, did you consider the GR Corolla?
Personally I shift at about 2,800 RPM's until the engine is warm, then shift anywhere I feel like depending on mood, road and drive mode after that. I still haven't shifted beyond 6,000 yet though.
I am not so sure it was an issue with passing the car based on what I see. He was well passed and should have his focus by then, but if you watch the slow motion at the end, he starts drifting to the right without steering that way and then begins to try to steer left a bit but it seems like...
For retired owners like myself, or those where this is not a daily commuter car, this small tank that saves weight is just another perfect feature LOL.
Personally after an early 3,000 mile break-in first oil change, I am generally a 9 month or 6,000 miles oil changer, whichever comes first. And I will always do the filter with that.
Frankly I do not understand this thinking. I had a scientist from Caltech tell me that filtering the oil is much more important than worrying about the oil not being able to do its job anymore. Plus an oil filter is much less expensive than 6 quarts of synthetic oil.
