Mine have no markings, but they do have a color (I’m assuming fake) leather border that’s the same color as my Fiona Red seats. That’s special enough for me, for now at least.

Mine look they could have come from a Civic

Oh they apparently pulled the Honda Civic mats for the P0 people.

It was a joke, sorry. If it has to be explained it was a fail.

Ya, I don't get it at all. There are 3 different tire manufacturers being used. It's not just PS4S or P0. so I really don't get what you're driving at.

But anyway, my mats are very plain and need replacement before too long

Who is the unlucky person to get the third option and what is it?

Me. I got Conti's on my G80 6MT. Maybe I missed it somehow, but I didn't see that the PS4S's are even sold in the G8x standard wheel size. If I'm wrong about that, please let me know.

Am I the only person who read this in the voice of the guy from Project Farm on YouTube? (We're gunna test that…)

D_SheerDrivingPleasure · 07-01-2021, 12:25 PM

does the G80 require the same jack pad adapters that is used on the F80 and other models? thx

dimab0 · 07-01-2021, 12:40 PM

Anyone know if you can get the audio volume level to stay the same after you turn the car off and back on? Mine always starts out with half-volume, unless the car was turned off with volume below 50%. If above 50%, then volume is lowered to only half-volume on startup.

I struggled with the same thing, managed to get rid of it with a setting somewhere in iDrive. After some searching on this forum of course...

"a setting somewhere" - remember which? Or just that one exists?

jonahk · 07-01-2021, 03:00 PM

I remember this setting as well, but not where I set it.

These cars have excellent onboard user manuals, and if you search with the Volume keyword that should tell you. I think that's how I found it.

I just read the summary of a road test which indicates that the turning radius of the G80 / 82 is so large that it makes it difficult to park. Is this really a big problem? Thanks

I've had zero issues with it, including multiple parking garage experiences.

Just the opposite. I feel that the car has a fantastic functional turning radius and drives smaller than its size.

CanuckM · 07-09-2021, 06:51 PM

So am I the only one who can't really tell if the sport exhaust is on or off? Sounds about the same or 90% of the same.

yea the button doesn't do much. It controls the valve and also ASC. But most of the sound diff come from changing engine mode, with meatiest sound only in sport+ ...

I picked up my 6MT today and definitely want to get a clutch stop. The travel on the clutch is way too much, and it leads to a bit of an awkward driving position. I have to have the seat further forward than I would like, which then strains my right foot a bit due to the odd angle. Guess I could always start wearing platform shoes.

Good call. I put one in couple months back. World of difference.
