It will also get better with more miles. My 4BW was very notchy into 2nd when I bought it new, and now that it’s got 26k miles on it, it’s much better. Not perfect, mind you, but worlds better.

9 miles when I test drove it. They weren’t going to let me drive it, but I assured them that I would never buy a car I haven’t driven, and I’d find another dealership. In retrospect, I should have given the paint issues that I discovered later…

Had to look that up. Never heard that word before in my life.

I don’t think it’s going to require a new door — I am hopeful anyway

Anyone have experience with a good body shop around the Houston area? Some jackass backed into my driver’s side door the other night while I was parked at a friend’s house. Multiple dents in the door, including one that’s gouged down to bare metal. They just left the scene, and it was too...

The CT4 V BW with a manual transmission is fun at ANY speed, in my opinion. Even lazily driving around town. I love it.

Take a REALLY good look at the paint. Mine was so swirled that I had to pay $900 for a two stage paint correction. The dealer will play dumb once it’s off the lot.

Ditto on this response. Absolutely no way.

I have a 4bw and my trunk has had some issues before as well. It’s annoying.

I know everyone has been waiting for an update LOL. The AS tires are just fine — i find them quieter (a bit), they still grip really well, and the wet traction is much more confidence inspiring (not surprising). If you track your blackwing, don’t do it!! For me, it’s a great trade off if they...

Not if I hate them.

Noted. It may be a horrific mistake, but somehow I’ll soldier on. Incidentally, even Richie at Spring Mountain said if you want a quieter tire that still performs very well, the pilot sport all seasons are a great tire. I don’t track my car, so I don’t probably need a track-capable tire...
