I bought this 6 days ago this is a 2013 coupe S w/automatic steptronic transmission no navigation and just the basic sound system it has 50k on it.I absolutely Love this little rocket.I am 5'-7 and with the telescoping tilt steering I feel like I am wearing this car I mean that in a good way.I had a local dealer check the vin # He said all the recommended services have been done to date.And no history of problems he could see My question is what do I need to be aware of The car has been in California its whole life till I bought it 6 days ago and it has been 6°F very cold here since I bought it.I s the cold going to cause issues?What are the things I need to look out for?So far it starts and runs awsome no dash lights or codes.It seems too good to be true.I did buy the extended warranty as much as I could afford so I am covered to 100k.Any advice would be much appreciated.
also your opinions to add stripes or not to add stripes?

 

Hi. I have the 2014 5-speed version; same color with black wheels. Basic config. with hood/trunk stripes down the middle. Have problem with hood release; cable connection is weak and broke... mucho $ to fix; next time I take it in. These are a bit noisy on the road. Very few mechanical problems. Still very fun to drive, but i am getting ready to get rid of it.

 

Dantastic, I know exactly what you mean about "wearing the car". My 2013 R58 -- red on black, manual, stripes (and yes, IMHO, go stripes) -- is absolutely my favorite car I've owned. More than my MGB. A BMW 325i. A Lexus coupe.

Motor on.

 

does anyone know as good place to buy the stripes for an R58?

 

 

Congratulations, As you said we wear theses cars as no others and I owned several sports cars among the years. There are none as the Coupe.

I have 53K happy miles from new and serviced from the dealer. No problem and just regular maintenance. My best advice is to keep very close records of service and abide by what need to be done.
