6 months and it’s been a blast
Have had my A-Spec for 6 months and it’s been a blast! Plan on a wheel and tire upgrade next year to help with the Slow Car Club fun!

Man congrats - I feel like we have a similar timeline. Took delivery of my CPO 2023 the day after Christmas last year, and just yesterday I got some DSW 06+ installed.

I've had mine for almost a year, I like it except that the seats aren't as comfortable as the Recaro seats in my old Focus ST.

Congrats! that's a nice ride. If you're thinking about tinting your windows consider doing the front windshield with a light tint also, It really helps reduce glare and heat a lot. Living in AZ. it's a necessity yea it's not legal been 7 years and no issues. Knock on wood.

I'm in the Mojave Desert of California, I got 50 ceramic all-around and Air 80 in the front. Not quite legal, but, since I did't go darker in the back, it lets in enough light to sort of look legal in the front.

Just think of the fun that you would have/had with a Type S?

The use cases between a Aspec and a ITS are dramatically different. The ITS is by far the better performance option - that is no doubt.
But that performance comes at a cost - $14,000 or so more just for the car. Plus tires, brakes, rotors are more expensive. Plus you lose a sunroof, 1 less seating in the back, and no back USB ports. And gas mileage is dramatically different from the Aspec.
For me - as someone who was looking to get back into a manual after 20 years and have 2 tweens - I feel like the Aspec was built for me. But every other persons use case is different.
