Yeah, I catch s*** all the time. I'd like to say that it doesn't bother me but it does. In all honesty, I really like the 2. It's basic, spunky and does everything I need it to. Unfortunately, my friends and more specifically, my girlfriend doesn't see it that way. Everyone thinks there is...

I think the lack of options on cars like the 2 has more to do with the low cost to operate a vehicle in the US. Why offer so many options for an "econobox" when most people can afford to operate a MS3 if they wanted? There is no additional tax for increased displacement, emissions, size and the...

That's exactly what I have. Neener neener! I came from an extremely similar car too. 2008 Subaru Sti. I plan on modding my 2 a decent amount but nothing too crazy, there just isn't too many parts available.

1. Telescoping steering wheel 2. Auto window up and down timing 3. Seats that fold down flat This is a fine car. It's fun to drive, has plenty of real world pep and gets awesome mpgs. It's comfortable and holds plenty of cargo. Hate to say it but my biggest issue with it is what it does to my...

Meh, lately I've been contemplating doing the same thing...selling the 2 for something more sporting. I do miss having a nicer car. I'm going to do my best to hold out for the 500 Abarth or Fiesta ST (because god knows a ms2 will never come).

Sometimes I wish I went with the green too. Welcome!

Yeah, based on nothing but pure speculation, I have a feeling that the whole handling package might just be stock M2 stuff. Hard telling not knowing, it's so cheap someone should pull the trigger and find out!

Do you guys (Corksport) ever plan on offering any kind of a ecu flash to go along with the muffler and intake? I came from Subaru world and I know that just slapping parts on most modern cars doesn't really yield much until you flash the car for the mods.

Wow those are really nice. The weight of the stock knob kind of made me think twice about changing it for a straight delrin knob. Is there any chance that knob comes in a pearl/white finish?

Yeah, that's still a pretty huge wheel gap just from a purely aesthetic point of view. Looks to be a great functional upgrade though which is nice. I'm still a bit torn whether to drop my car or not. I kind of like not having to worry about scraping over driveways and speed bumps for a change...

That's quite the change in car. I kind of did the opposite, moved from a STI to a 2. I think the 2 is pretty fun to drive, it's just not that fast. It was frustrating driving the STI as a DD. You have to get it up to ridiculously fast speeds to feel like you were having a sporting driving...

Really? Last week I had a 50 mile highway trip which I did at 75-80mph along with my normal work/school commute which is at 45mph. I was driving it "fast" and still got 35.9mpg (calculated from gas receipt). The last fill up before that I averaged 38mpg (indicated) just commuting around town and...

Make sure you guys post up some pics and impressions!

Barefoot is good advice. I'm not sure exactly how I launch away from hills but it's pretty smooth. I initially give it decent amount of gas with some clutch slip to get enough forward momentum to overcome the hill incline. Then I let off the gas a little bit and release the clutch slowly while...

Does anyone know what kind of threads the shifter has or what other kind of car shares kind of shift knobs? I would like to get a nice delerin ball and I can't really find anything purpose made for the mz2.

Some break in theories involve beating on the car a little once it's warmed up to seat the rings properly. I broke in my STI this way and it never burned oil or had low compression. I'm breaking in my M2 this way too. With 300 miles on the odo, I'm getting 38mpg average so far.

I had to bring my mountain bike back from work today in my 2. I had to move the passenger seat all the way up with the seats folded down. I had to remove the front wheel and lower the seat post from my bike. It fit alright, a bit of a hassle so I think I'm going to get a rack. I do have a...

Looks nice tinted. I used to live in Riverside back in the day!

Just finished signing paperwork on a white touring MT. $15,400 otd with 0% for 60 months. I feel like I overpaid after looking at some of the deals others have gotten in this thread. Still, 0% is sweet!
