I just purchased a new 2020 civic sport hatch 6spd, and with around 600 miles so far I am finding the rev hang between shifts pretty frustrating.
I have owned a couple tuned cars in the past and know that the difference is usually quite big. On the most recent vehicle many people ended up having ring land issues which led to many engines blowing up. Most people who had issues had been tuned, and some had their warranties denied because the manufacturer found out they were tuned even after the car was returned back to stock (re-flashed to stock tune).
Has anyone ran into issues with their tuned 1.5L turbo engines, and if so was warranty coverage an issue? What kind of makes things worse is that I paid extra for the extended warranty... Due to bad experiences with my last car, having the extra piece of mind keeps my stress level low lol.
Also first post!
