My FL5 24 CW TYPE R
I was driving a new 23 Prius for about 6 months as a daily to keep some miles off the Quadrifoglio. I just could not do it anymore lol. Don't dismiss the Type R for being fwd.
I'm really impressed so far how buttoned down and direct it feels. Shifter is magic. I have not had a manual since my AW F80. Seats are better than the CF sparcos in the QV. You can adjust everything from engine mapping, steering, damping, sound. Just like an ///M. The more I look at it, It has a stance like an M3 with the fender flares but they are integrated into to door like it should be! . I think it's about the same width as a G80. Here are a few pics! |

Life is too short for this kind of money wasting nonsense. Also, it's nothing like a M3

Owned an FL5 and I would never in my life compare it to an M3 lol. It’s a fine machine, but I honestly was a bit disappointed in it given some of the glowing reviews. Not sure what I was expecting, but just couldn’t get over the FWD aspect so ended up trading it in.

Congrats on the new addition! I am having a hard time deciding between CTR & ITS as a future car to add to my collection.

Love the ITS. Hope they come out with a ITR with some weight stripped out. Imagine it at 3k lbs. 2800lbs? They could do 3000 curb with seats and some carbon parts.

How are you all finding the interior comfort, NVH, ride, etc.? Considering getting out of the GR Corolla as it is cramped for our growing toddlers.

everything is great especially for this price point. a lot of road noise though, can probably alleviate some with different tires and alignment but why would you, the stereo is actually really good so just turn it up a little and keep going.
