What kind of conditions are you driving in? Is it 90% dry pavement, 9% icy/packed snow and 1% deep (more than 4") or is Boulder a fairly snowy area.
Like for example I rarely need to drive in deep snow, most of the winter driving danger comes from icy surfaces so I have the Michelin X-ice3...
It's not an absolute confirmation but after many spirited drives throughout 2024 , my insurance did not spike in 2025, so they're not getting my data.
I really didn't think they would because I don't use the Acura app, don't wifi/hotspot the car, and I turned off the data sharing but I was...
For that I usually ask them the difference between the levels. Example one year it was I think $30 cheaper a year to go from $500 to $1000. It means I'd have to drive over 15 years without a single claim to recoup the extra $500 if I were to make a claim.
Easy ones are the opposite, the premium...
Updated data point for my 2024 ITS. I just got a quote back that gave me $26.50CAD/month ($318/year) o_O
To give some context, this is for 10,000km/ year (6,000 miles), 8 month on the road, stored December 1st to March 30th. No accidents or claims and my wife and I are both professionals living...
Which dealership? Acura Gabriel gladly took my $1000 deposit in June 2023 and told me their system will open up for orders in August.
August rolls around, nothing opened, September still said ordering was closed. It motivated me to go to another GMA dealership and I specifically went to the...
You're right and I should have been more clear. How many of those 450 are $5-10k over sticker with dealer markup, basically unbuyable. I'd argue at least half and the another handful are sitting in more remote dealerships that don't sell out of state and/or people don't want the hassle to travel...
The ITS is a daily driver first, plain and simple. Any bolstering that complicates the entry/exit into the car is against the prime goal.
The CTR has that covered and the only travesty is that they make so few, that the people who would be better suited by the CTR have to "settle" for the ITS...
When debugging a problem, never assume. The 2032 is one of the most common pill batteries. It's not a complicated check and depending on the dealership, they might charge you $100-$200 if they don't find anything.
I hate to be that person, but have you thought to pop in a new battery?
Sounds like it could very well be that especially if you leave your fob close to the car at home. I've read the key communicates more frequently with the car thereby draining the battery faster.
I can be completely wrong but specific to the CTR/ITS, whatever changes are made, it's with the intention of jacking up the price as much as possible while keeping the build cost relatively the same.
Why else would they update something that is already selling out no problem. Alternatively If...
I think we're about 7 or 8 of us on this forum in the Greater Montreal area. I heard there's a Facebook group but I don't have FB so if a meet is happening, it would be good to post it here too.
I don't think the for profit is the evil part, it's the maximum profit at any cost that's bad and it's the government who has failed us thanks to lobbying.
I could completely understand if they have carve outs for high risk activities. If you accidentally kill yourself driving way too fast or...
? maybe it works differently down in the States versus Canada but good to know. Just to be clear, if you do 136 and then a week later in a completely different scenario a piano falls on you head, can they deny you just because you went over at any point in your life?
The craziest part and I've...
