Was your car stock? How many miles did you have on it and what were your driving habits?

Well I have flashpro but I wouldn't of thought that would break it. I drive 80 miles a day for work that's round trip mostly traffic and some spirited driving

Damn that really sucks. Hope you didn't lose too much trading it in.

Well at least you'll be back to driving a manual. I'm hoping to get an Si when the 2018's come out. Saving up some money for a good down payment until then. How do you like the Si compared to the one you traded in?

I test drove one, the one I bought they're doing pdi on it tomorrow. The si is pretty nice drives similar to the hatch. I probably would've bought another hatch if they had a manual. But so far I like it we'll see when I pick it up tomorrow. Can't wait for mods later
