    4BW LF4 Oil Consumption

    I have 3,800 miles on mine and at the first oil change the level was almost full. My first oil change was at 2,000 miles.

    All season tire - Michelin All Season 4 vs Continental DWS 06

    Do you find that the DWS06 is quieter? Do you notice a difference in the ride? Is the ride softer or is there no difference?

    Kill switch in 2026

    I don't even want OnStar to be able to turn off the car. Let's assume they receive a false report or mistakenly turn off the wrong car and your car is shut down in a less than desirable neighborhood. Also, when AI becomes more prevalent, the errors involving our cars will only increase.

    Kill switch in 2026

    We seem to have the same thoughts on government intrusion into our lives. I agree, I don't want to be driving a car that the government can willingly kill or in which a hacker could do the same. Perhaps this might be a reason to buy a new Blackwing in 2025?

    The Honda build quality is weak. My kids have a new Odyssey and they left an entire duct giving air to the rear passengers. The car leaks water and the carpet was ruined and 3 dealers could not fix the leak. The 1.5L Turbo in the Civic and CRV is perhaps the worst engine that Honda has made...

    CT4-V Blackwing...kind of slow

    Slow? Not mine. I could see that an all wheel drive BMW M340 would be slightly faster due to the all wheel drive. But our cars out handle the BMW and have much better steering. Also, our maintenance is much less expensive and ours is more reliable. To me, it's not just about acceleration.

    Anyone else having engine oil issues?

    Start the lemon law. That will wake them up and they will take this more seriously.

    Unfortunate new owner

    I have owned many M cars, AMG cars, and S cars and I can say without a doubt, my ATS-Vs were the most fun cars to drive. I drove a V8 Mustang and the steering and interior were awful. The handling was so so and the acceleration was very good, but not pushing you in the seat fast. You probably...

    Oil Change at dealer, now smell burnt oil in cabin of 5BW. ** UPDATE **

    Dealers are incredibly sloppy and they usually put the least trained person on oil changes. I even had one dealer overfill my car by 2 quarts. That it is why it is imperative to check your oil before you leave the dealership. Most dealers don't even check the dipstick or check the electronic...

    Oil Change at dealer, now smell burnt oil in cabin of 5BW. ** UPDATE **

    I agree. Change the filter as a variable. If the smell remains, then put the old filter back in after a week. The new filter should be a carbon, baking soda one.

    Oil Change at dealer, now smell burnt oil in cabin of 5BW. ** UPDATE **

    The dealers do a sloppy job and use the lowest grade oil they can. At least they use an OEM oil filter, or do they?

    Though market adjustments were a thing of the past? Not in Florida

    All of us need to send the dealership a text or email in regards to their gouging price.

    Kill switch in 2026

    There are huge issues with this law and I agree 100% with your concerns. All car enthusiasts should be wary when there are laws like this one.

    CT4 V blackwing vs RS3

    Yes it does. The angles on the car help make it something special. I just wish GM had made more of these and that more people understood how special these cars are.

    CT4 V blackwing vs RS3

    I completely agree with you. It's great to disagree without hostile acts and name calling. I wish the rest of the country on various issues was like this.

    CT4 V blackwing vs RS3

    Nope. The RS3 is an inferior car. The maintenance and reliability will be expensive also.

    CT4 V blackwing vs RS3

    Having driven the RS3 many times, the Blackwing is a better car overall. Ride, handling and steering are so much better in the Blackwing. I don't know why Audi keeps producing cars with Camry steering.

    For those with base seats…

    They are not leather.
