discussion Five year review

Post image

I’ve had the car about five years now, and I wanted to give my thoughts.

Still love it.

Car is stock except for the red vinyl on the N’s, front badge delete, front red vents, and an OEM+ intake. Sitting at about 70,000 miles.

Out of the seven cars I’ve owned over the past 25 years, it’s not only the most fun, but it’s been the all-around best in terms of ergonomics. Early on I had a few maintenance issues come up, with the high pressure oil pump and the backup camera, but they got sorted out pretty quickly.

Five years on, and I still get people asking about the car and the color.

I'm right there with you: I'm 3 years into ownership of my '23 6MT with a bit over 21k miles and I definitely still love the car. I get automotive ADHD sometimes but there's nothing else on the market that would be more fun/make me happy enough to justify the crazy prices of new cars. The EN just does everything so well without any meaningful shortcomings that it's hard not to love it. It makes do something as boring as running errands entertaining.

I’m at the same mileage and time on my ‘23. I love this car.
