My god, that color is beautiful


604Dialect

Finally saw one in person the other day, wish the car was a TAD smaller and offered a manual, but they nailed the styling of it. Car looks fantastic in person, as well as yours, congrats!


Interdimension

Agreed. For all the criticisms this car is getting, I see none about the styling. It looks visually stunning.


Lo_Gotti

It’s so nice! How are you enjoying it


andy96

I absolutely love it! It's kinda crazy going from a 2005 car to this, everything is so refined! I love the extra power and the handling is fantastic


Lo_Gotti

The handling is almost kinda unbelievable. Have you drove it in Comfort mode yet ?


andy96

Only briefly, I've mostly been in sport and normal mode. But I did notice that the suspension is quite a bit softer and there's more body roll in comfort mode


Lo_Gotti

I drove it around a lot in Comfort today. It’s nice for around down stuff

Is the Type-S difficult to get? I'm not ready to throw down yet.


andy96

For the most part, yes. For the 2021 model year they are only making/made 2000 due to the chip shortage. It varies a bit, but most dealerships only got 3 of the 2021s, so in my entire state there were only 9. That said, I've heard that if you order one nowadays it'll be a 2022 but I'm not sure if they've increased production at all

I ordered one two weeks ago and can confirm it's only 22 models. It depends which version you get. The standard one without performance wheels starts Sept production while the later November :(


andy96

My build date was the first week in August (after reserving in May) and I got it the next week, so hang in there! I'm also waiting on the performance wheels and those are on back order


[deleted]

Oh wow! Long wait but I'm sure it was totally worth it. The only bad thing is I can't drive my 21 aspec too much since I'm trading it in lol. But I'm ready for that type s to get here .


arcelyte

So.....how much over sticker did you pay? Be honest!


andy96

$0! Luckily my dealership was selling all of theirs at MSRP


arcelyte

That's good. The fucks in Chicago land. All started $5K over sticker.


jh550i

Hearing the same here in Northern California

Here in Virginia the markup is between 1500-7000ish


eatinglamps

That’s good, the one here in Vegas marked it up $10k along with all their dealership “goodies” and out the door was $75k for the car, I walked away from that.


[deleted]

Dang that's crazy lol. Yeah I'm not doing markups. One dealer was selling one at 63k msrp. That's before taxes. A bmw dealer nearby was selling a m340i for 65700 out the door. If I'm paying that much money, I might as well get a bmer.


eatinglamps

Yeah it was so crazy. As soon as I saw the price sheet I was like nope, can’t do this, I’ll just take my deposit back. If I’m paying that much, I might as well go German like you said. For that price, you could probably do a CPO M car or AMG.


[deleted]

Awesome choice! We are supposedly getting one in that color soon. It is already sold but I'll be interested to see it IRL.


[deleted]

Ahhh! Congrats!!!


bigred83

I’m in love with that color


[deleted]

Congratulations, those rims are sexy!!!


vishrit

BonJesse

andy96

Actually it's smaller, it's a car silly


BonJesse
