Subaru hasn’t put EyeSight on any of its manual transmission cars. I think that’s the part that’s concerning.

#SaveTheManuals

Didn’t have to change a thing, comrade!

Agreed.

As the driver in the video, it didn’t feel that bad IRL, but I’m sure it contributed to my repeated steering over-corrections. I’m sure some of it could be tuned out via improved software or editing the game’s controller settings.

Is that a Camaro wagon?

TIL someone in Russia drives Eddie’s R34 and I wonder what I’ve been doing with my life.

Yep, with drive-by-wire cars, it hasn’t been directly actuating the throttle pedal for a while.

Reminder that the Accord 2.0t is available with a manual transmission. The only thing the Legacy has over the Accord is AWD; the Accord is much cheaper, faster, returns similar fuel economy, and buying one helps Save The Manuals™.

Wheels, tires, body panels, glass, brakes, lights, interior, etc., etc. are all valuable and don’t phone home. Probably even the battery pack / motors.

I think they appeal strongly to enthusiasts who live close to said track and are in the market for a track toy. Living near Road America, the GT2 RS lap record of 2:15 did a lot more for me than any other specs/records it set (not that I'm shopping for one).

I’m guessing the 112mph speed limiter improves safety by reducing stopping distances, not through crumple zones being engineered for 112mph impacts.

When safety became a real concern. Helicopter parents would rather have their kid not drive without airbags / ABS, or die in a small overlap front impact crash.

Compared to previous generations, is there any aspect that feels more analog / visceral? For example...

Face lift looks what the Ford Mustang GT did between 2015-2017 and 2018+. Lower hood line, angrier headlights, more catfish-y appearance.

Nice coupe.

I wonder how they will manage to integrate automatic emergency braking with a manual transmission’s drivetrain. With an additional, computer-controlled clutch? Or just by letting the engine stall?

As others have been saying, there’s more nuance to it. The idea is to make the most of the tires’ grip by both braking and turning instead of under-utilizing it as you transition between straight-line braking and zero-throttle (max lateral acceleration) turning at the apex.

Wow, before this I had no idea that roof scoops could be used for cabin airflow.

These steps seem simple to follow and that’s probably why they’re the instructions for beginners drivers.
