Ha, it's not so bad! Aside from the silly tint laws and the humidity I don't mind it too much.Welcome to the ES forums, but sorry you're stuck in VA. I escaped, finally, 5 years ago.
humidity? Come on down to FL and I'll show you real humidity lolHa, it's not so bad! Aside from the silly tint laws and the humidity I don't mind it too much.Welcome to the ES forums, but sorry you're stuck in VA. I escaped, finally, 5 years ago.![]()
Mostly MPG (I was getting 20 mpg and will be changing from 10 miles/day to 40 miles/day commute) and wanting something a bit more practical. I had spent a bit modding my WRX, and the next mods were going to be engine/turbo and didn't want to be stuck with a money pit. I'll do a couple small things to the ES, but I mostly wanted something I wasn't going to spend a bunch of money on.
It's not much different in Northern VA, if that's where this guy is.
I lived outside of DC for 10 years... Feels different to me lol
I feel you. My wife and I bought the ES for MPG as well since she was tired of driving the STi 34 miles each way back/forth to work and wanted an automatic for the big city rush hour traffic.
I know exactly what you mean. We had a Nissan 350z and that thing drank gas like crazy, don't know if something was wrong but the fun-to-gas ratio wasn't adding up. Rather get the ES, save money, and still have something peppy enough for me.
I'm liking the DCT a lot, although I do have an issue with manual downshifting from 4th. It always skips 3rd and drops to 2nd... really annoying. Aside from that, it appears to be a fantastic transmission.
Yeah it seems like I'm on the only with that issue... I posted a thread in the 'Likes and Dislikes' forum with more info on it. Everything else works normally, but it just doesn't seem to like downshifting from 4th to 3rd manually.
