With the dawn of the EV era, I wanted one last fun car that I believed I could enjoy for a long time. It had to be practical enough for family use and have a manual and within my budget. That didn’t leave a ton of options. But an important factor was that I wanted the car to be great. Not just...

I’m also around the 10k mark, and I still love the car. It continues to be everything I wanted out of the car when I first bought it, which is a fun car with an awesome driving experience and enough practicality to fit my dad life. I don’t think any of my feelings about the car have changed much...

I always have it off but would probably use it mixed if it weren’t so difficult to turn on and off. I wish there was a button for it. I like rev matching myself, but there are times when it’s tedious, like going through traffic.

Do you have the rev matching feature on? It not only rev matches your downshifts but also your upshifts. Not sure if it’s affecting the feel you’re getting with the shifting but maybe try turning it off and see how it feels. I drive the car with rev matching off. I tried it a little when I...

My favorite car that I’ve owned and owned the longest and most comparable to the ITS is my 2015 Subaru WRX STI. It’s not my favorite because it was the most sporty or best handling; cars like my old FR-S and ND2 Miata were certainly better in those departments. But I just liked the combination...

I have the same sound. I’ve been told it’s normal.

Other than sometimes not having traction when putting the power down, I think the car is great, from a driving joy perspective. I too considered the CT4V BW, but it was more expensive and I don’t have a lot of faith in Cadillac reliability (not based on any numbers. Just feeling). I think if I...

I didn’t get a CEL or any indication that anything was wrong. The car seemed to run fine. Coolant temp didn’t get to any worrisome levels. I found the problem because I found coolant on my garage floor. I saw someone else mentioned they happened to smell the coolant. By the time I found the...

Big congrats!

I also have kids and considered a lot of these cars. I strongly considered the M2 because of how much markup was on the ITS but I also found markup on the M2, with the price of the car ballooning when I added the options I wanted. So ultimately, the cars didn’t feel that comparable price wise...

I chose the ITS over the GR Corolla for a lot of the same reasons. I think if the GR Corolla was a little bigger to better handle dad duty, I may have gone with that over the ITS (but if it were bigger, maybe it would lose some of its character). But I certainly have been enjoying the more...

I also wondered about this before I bought the car. I was worried that I might have problems with speed bumps or my driveway. But I’ve found that the thing that actually causes me problems is not the front bumper but rather this black plastic shield-like thing that goes across the bottom front...

Oh wow didn’t know they’ve been failing since the FK8. My dealer did say there wasn’t a new part number and that they just ordered me the same one. So I guess I’ll just pray it works this time.

Ah that’s too bad. :( I guess it’s just something I have to accept with an FMIC then. This is my first car with one so it’s going to take some getting used to.

I debated a lot getting PPF. Never had it on my previous cars. I usually never owned one long enough to notice the long term effects. But my latest car before the ITS has a lot of chips all over the front after 130k miles. I was really close to getting it but decided not to. I have a few minor...

Dang glad you found it early. I got 5k on my car and found the problem a few days ago and my reservoir is basically empty. ? I’m hoping that there was still enough coolant for the engine all this time. Thanks for the info! It’s gonna be tough to not drive it for a few weeks.

Aww man. How long have you been waiting for the part? And did they know if the new part actually had the problem fixed?

I also have this problem. Going to get it checked by my local dealership in a few days. Anybody have an update on their experience getting this fixed?
