Anyone disappointed with their decision to purchase the new R?

I have been experiencing the same squeaky seat issue. Every sharp turn I hit the seat squeaks. That is the only issue this car has given me. Everything else has fulfilled my expectations and then some. I don’t know if I will ever get rid of this car because it is an awesome car. It is my daily driver and I love getting in this car every time. It makes driving so much fun. But that’s awesome that they are going to address the squeaky seat issue, because once they fix that then the car will be perfect in my opinion.

Exactly.
The FK8 is not perfect. Just perfect for me. And pretty darn close to perfect overall.

I expect for those enthusiasts who feel that way about the FL5, this will not be much of a deterrent. Just glad it is being addressed so every 11th gen Type R owner can have the best possible experience.

I'm not disappointed - the car is great and I think even with the ADM I paid this was the best car I could get for the price. There are a few things I'd love to see improved or changed but they are either minor or are the norm for most cars (ie, the half defeatable VSA).

Been just over a year in my 24 FL5 and I feel like I’m still on the honeymoon . I’ve had many cars and this is my all around favorite car to date. When ever I slide in and hit that start button I can feel the smile within start šŸ˜†

Still in the honeymoon phase, but I don't think I could ever get tired of how my FL5 drives. So engaging and responsive, really special car indeed.
