I think you have to disable the ACC while the cruise is actually in operation. Press and hold the distance button while the cruise is in use out on the highway. Thats how it works in my Acura.
The ZF9 in the new one I think finally has the bugs worked out. I had a 15 TLX with the 9ZF and this one feels like a different car. Shifting is 100% improved. No odd behaviour at all.
Is the plant in East Liberty, Ohio a union?
Some good info here...

The plant in Aliston sets the standards. Whether the other plants follow, who knows.
I used a Forge DV on to of my previous turbo vehicles and it fit and functioned just as the OEM one did. It just held boost better then the rubber diaphragm OEM one, that did leak and/or was known to fail.
Uniq Performance. They sell LOTS of Genesis Coupe parts, but can get really anything. If its not on their webpage, they can usually still get it.

Things like operating temps and low fuel can also effect the boost. Ive had a few turbo cars in the past that wouldnt hit full boost if the car was low on fuel and/or not up to operating temps.
Canadian Tire premium is also eth free. Chevron and Ultramar if you can find them. Mostly out west I believe.

Yawn!
Golf R is a $40K+ here in Canada. That buys a shit ton of Mustang GT which is an absolute bargain per dollar if youre talking about performance.
The RSX was a turd compared the the 07+ Civic Si.
Luckily, here in Canada, most of our premium gas is also ethanol free, so you might not see a performance gain, but you wont have to worry about your motor getting all bunged up from the corn either :)
Im not going to pass any judgement until the final specs are released. It might be a small 1.5, but it could have forged internals, a big fat intercooler, high flow injectors and a big twin scroll turbo. Even if it only makes 220hp compared to cars like the GTI and ST, the Civic will probably...
Kind of related... Ive owned Turbo cars in the past that would limit boost until the motor reached operating temps and/or it was low on fuel. I wonder if the Civic does this also.
I got into a minor accident in my '16 RDX recently. A girl pulled out into the street and hit me. New fender, bumper, headlight, paint, labour, etc was $6100. The bumper painted and installed was around $800, so Im sure a newer model Civic would be a similar price.
