Isn't the gt86 the same as the Subaru BRZ? Were there any reviews of the BRZ on tuner?

So guys, Southern Sales has been busy as of late. They received the refreshed Sorento and Sportage. They also got the new 2019 Cerato 1.6 with the speculated iVT transmission (to be confirmed) - special intro price of $180k. And on the Mazda side of things, they got the 2018 refreshed 6.

Diamond Motors I think finally got back some Sporteros to sell and that price I understand is $289k. The all new Jimny pricing is hush hush at LSM right now but they are expected to create a big launch out of that one.

Rumors of the Hyundai Kona and Kia Stonic have remained what they are...and as I mentioned recently, in a few short months we will welcome the onslaught of the 2019 Rav4, Forester and Eclipse Cross.

Finally, a Civic Si or Type R should be in Honda's showroom soon according to my source.

Could imagine the price of that Type R. Noticed they have had it listed on their site for a while but when you try to get further info you hit a wall.

The Si too? That's interesting, but welcome (but with the prices they charge for the standard Civics... )

I hope they did their due diligence on that one, because if 95RON is insufficient for those high performance Civics then owners may face engine issues.

Yes but for all the type r's affected, whatever factory it coming from will not be the same for us and the transmission supplier would be different lol...so I anticipate that we would be cool. :)

He found a solution but had the dealer replace the gearbox as well so the damage that was done would not affect him going forward...... Honda doesn't really admit to vehicle problems until the vehicle is out of warranty...

Anyhow...I think the problem is related to the damper in the clutch master cylinder... That is what he said anyway

I probably made that statement improperly... If it is a threat to life and limb... They have to do proper recalls. If it is a smaller problem like this one... It will take longer... Although with social media and enough bad press... It might raise the response level

I have not heard of any recalls on the Type R transmission
Most likely they will replace the transmissions and keep it quiet since its not a high volume seller.

Honda has a record of not admitting to stuff ... They had CVT issues in the past and then starter problems and gave owners the run around. Luckily their cars dont seem to have a lot of issues so they dont get tarred and feathered by the general public like VW group cars do.

They admitted to this because the recall wasn't their fault ... it was the airbag makers fault.

I was referring to an issue with 3rd gear in Honda 6 speed manual transmissions around 2003-2008

Also there is the failure of the automatics connected to the 3.5 v6

Anyone got any idea if and when Lifestyle motors will start bringing in the Suzuki Swift Sport Turbo.

the TSB was released in 2008 for the 3rd gear grinding issue which was reported in vehicles built as early as 2003.. By this time most of the affected vehicles were out of warranty... Meaning less for Honda to spend on repairs.

Car is very nice in person, however it is lacking in features for a 2019 model.
Fully loaded model does not have electronic driver side seats.
No TPMS.
No blind spot monitoring.
No heated or cooled seats.
Was told our region will not get the cerato with those features....

Correct. The fully loaded Ioniq at 215 has all those features. Please also bear in mind the 208 fully loaded price will go up after the introductory sale price ceases. Which essentially means you gonna pay more for less.
