Mine doesnt have the nav alot of the scions didnt come with them, I want to say only the subaru br-z limited did which for the extra money wasnt worth the nav, and hids and push start ignition. I plan on just upgrading the factory pioneer with a nav unit of my choice when I have some spare cash. ---

And lets be honest, there are plenty of upgrades at a relatively inexpensive price to get more power out of this motor and be even happier. **I believe a Header, intake, exhaust, tune gets you about 260hp+ depending the quality of parts used**. Thats putting you around the WRX without even putting a turbo on. > As for “not necessarily light” what cars are out there these days that comfortably fit a 6’2" guy and weighs under 3000lbs?

It chirps all the time when making a left or right from a stand still even without putting your foot down. lol Are you smoking meth again? yeah a little ass engine will gain 60hp on intake and exhaust. I’m sure the car can be fun, I was just trolling initially because it was the 2nd “hey I got a new car” thread but for the same car. ---

its the chicken vs. egg… do you push harder because you have it and make it more likely? for somebody like marcus who is good and wants to be great it’s the ideal time to buy since he’s dialing out the safety margin… ---

I wonder if this is on the CR-Z timeline and will get a supercharger option 5 years after the car comes out? > **[Honda CR-Z gets much-needed supercharger](https://www.autoblog.com/2014/08/21/honda-crz-supercharger-kit-official/)** > > Honda has really taken its time in getting an aftermarket supercharger kit for the CR-Z to enthusiasts in the US. It's finally on sale, though, and it makes you wonder if the hybrid hatchback shouldn't have had it from the day it went on sale. ---
