I can’t listen to the sound right now but have you tried driving with you key in your pocket v the designated key area? The only buzzing sound I noticed was also under acceleration and it was coming from the key ring when the key was in the holder. I took the ring off the key and the problem is...

I can confirm this does not exist in my car. To test the theory I shifted into 2nd from N at a dead stop and no issues. Then I also successfully shifted from 1st to 2nd after fully releasing the clutch and no gas going about 5mph and no issues.

How low of RPM? I haven’t heard of this before and haven’t noticed it. I have to use some more force going into 2nd but once warmed up it gets much better.

You shouldn’t be paying MSRP for a 24 4BW, even better deals should be available for 23. If the dealer is trying to hold you at MSRP on a 23 I would contact a different dealer.

I have an ND Miata as a second car and I love it. It’s really hard to beat from a driving enjoyment and value perspective. I picked mine up for $31K brand new ~3 years ago and much better deals can be had on used ones now that the market is back to earth. It’s fun to drive normally and I average...

Ha! Small world. It isn’t the way I would have specced it but everything I thought I wouldn’t like (base seats, color, no sunroof) is growing on me. I’m glad it worked out for the both of us!

Well it happened, not the order but I am officially in a Blackwing. I wanted to test drive a new one in person because the two I drove previously were pre owned and there was a lot to absorb so I just wanted to make 100% sure I was making the right choice. A side benefit was going to be placing...

Is this something we get invited to via email or are we supposed to be on the lookout somewhere and register once posted? I did not receive any info from dealer about this.

Looks good! Are those 18s? Do you happen to know the weight?

This is my first car in 8 years that doesn’t have a sunroof. If I were ordering I would have optioned it. I agree with what others have said regarding the looks and weight, but I’ve personally never had an issue stemming from a sunroof. To me I could find differences in the flow of air and...

This is exactly why I picked up a lightly specced BW with an MSRP of $67K. I had to give up some things I wanted (upgraded seats, sunroof) but when I looked at the inventory of what was within a reasonable driving distance most cars were $75K +. I didn’t want to sit around and wait as nobody had...

Isn’t there quite a bit more that’s different other than the engine between a V and a Blackwing? The entire drivetrain is different as I understand it, along with cooling, brakes, etc. You also can’t get a V in a MT. I don’t think this parallels what the OP was getting at, which is that you can...

Where did you get them? I have been searching all over for the rears along with Discount Tire and Fitment Industries with no luck…

I’m learning this platform so can’t answer about the LF4 but you asked in general about turbo engines. My Focus RS which I drove from new for about 36K miles never burned oil and it was a turbo 4 cyl 2.3l and saw 5-6 track events.

I did full front PPF and got the windows tinted. Full front PPF was $1,600 and absolutely necessary where I live and my commute on the interstate, otherwise the car would be littered with rock chips. I’ll do this on every new car now going forward, learned my lesson the hard way.

How fast a car "feels" is very subjective and relative, and only you can answer if it "feels" slow to you. To me, the 4BW is plenty fast for the street, and felt every bit as fast as my CLA 45 AMG. Objectively, the car is competitive in straight line speed with its competitors. I wouldn't...

I bought yesterday and can confirm this. I wasn’t able to take advantage of the .9 but I did 3.9 for 5 years which I’m happy with. It was 4.9 for 6. The shorter the term the better the rate.

Picked mine up today. This is not a color I was anticipating ending up with. When I initially started looking I think I told the dealer that this was a color I did not want. This was based on the configurator photos which I think make it look like a grandpa color. I actually placed an order for...

I wouldn’t use Cadillac dealer trade in value as a lone data point. In my experience Cadillac dealers have been on the wrong side of fair with trade in. I have a 2022 CLA 45 AMG that I bought new off the lot less than one year ago, it only has 6K miles and was ~$72K MSRP and I have been offered...
