Waiting delivery for my Type R today. Car is being shipped so no walk around the car. Just looking for some things you found out about your car later on that you wish you knew the first day you got it.

Also maybe somethings that you just want to share.

Thanks a bunch!

if you press the unlock button once and then hold it will roll down all the windows. on the settings menu you can change the key less entry settings. on mine only the driver door would unlock. changed it to all doors unlocking because im a family man and its more convenient for me.

Sounds like shit. Seriously. The tone of the exhaust inside the car is horrible. The first time I stretched her legs I thought something was wrong. It's bad.

As surprising as it sounds, I'd look around for any uneven gaps between the body panels, trunk, and even under the hood. My vehicle came with a weird gap that looked like the grill was replaced but someone forgot to replace the clips on. The dealership swapped it out with another type r to try to "fix" it.

This can be fixed with aftermarket mods.. at additional expense of course :(

The salesperson didn’t tell me that the filler door locks I thought it was broken until I open the driver side door and heard a click from the back I felt like a idiot :doh:
