Still in queue for my Type S, so no direct experience. Drove an A-Spec dealer demo and was disappointed. Compared to my daily driver GTI - the pedal pressure was fine, but take-up engagement point was way too high - to the point it was difficult to drive smoothly. Perhaps that clutch was...
Thanks - The first Autel model looks pretty basic. But the second LAUNCH is more interesting. There is one negative comment that the Amazon model is gray-market and not supported by LaunchUSA - so that might be important for some. But if nothing else, there are other LAUNCH models to chose...

Add the recommended amount of fuel stabilizer based on your tank size - I've been using Stabil for years in several vehicles and power equipment with good results.
After adding the fuel stablizer, fFill the tank - this reduces the internal air volume and...
