Only US. I believe other counties still can get radio delete.

But without that, the R is just not that special (again, from a driving experience viewpoint).

I'd much rather go for the MUCH improved engine in the gt3 touring, more torque, more top end, just way better all around. I would not spend $100k extra on an R without it.
Again from the sticker, this car DOES have SMF, but has sofas instead of LWB. So....half a hit, I guess, from a collectors standpoint.

If I knew that I could get called every month to subscribe to SiriusXM (along with the roof wart), I would have gotten radio delete. Go freaking annoying and I even told them to not call me again because I'm not interested but they can't seem to listen.

Drive car (maybe)
Switch back to factory fitted flywheel when time to sell to another collector
Use lightweight flywheel as desk ornament
Ha Ha your funny! Down the road the original specs matter to collectors.

Unless you want to cancel, then you have a better chance of getting through to the PAG free allocation hotline.

Ooh my bad! Thanks for the correction Soulsea. I did not look close enough. With a dual mass flywheel I'll take the GT3.

lol no worries ... sorry for the snarkiness.

But yes I think it's a wise move to pass on this car.

I saw 'flywheel' listed under 'options' and assumed single mass. As we used to say taking board exams.... RFQ (Read the F*&^ing Question). Time to close this thread. Dual mass+sofas even for $325 is overpriced. And the red stripes on a silver car kind of bugged too.

Ahem. Several of us pointed this out, I think that's why Soulsea went a bit strong, it seemed like you asked for opinions then didn't even read our responses...

All's good now, glad you understand the options it has properly--that would have been an expensive oops.

Whoever made the decision to push SiriusXM on us folks in the US really did not think twice of how annoying it could be to owners.

Didn't think that many use sat radio due to Apple Music, Spotify, Tidal.
