Been owning the car close to 2 years now. My first continental car. I do understand where ppl are coming from, when they say once you do conti, you ain't going back to jdm. 

Comparing to my previous cars, this is a rather refined car. Interior looks luxurious, everything is soft  touch, matte aluminium here n there. 

I bought this from a doctor, driven ard 90k km, which was high for a 3 years plus vehicle. Car was still under warranty so service can as done in the authorised service centres. That was the most painful part of the whole ownership. They were incompetent, slow and basically didn't give a damn. 

Thanks to them, I now try to resolve all my own issues if possible. Sourcing parts from taobao or even Sunway if they are reasonably priced. Heck, I have even bought my own wrench set to help do my own repairs. Used once for installing the APR Carbonio stage 1 intake. Lost one t25 screw in the process. But all is good. 

When I decided to buy the car, I did my home work. It was labelled as the car for boys who have grown up. That really sealed the deal for me. I was looking for something more practical at my age. Enough room in the boot to put a stroller in. Gone were the subwoofers which took up half of the boot space. However, it should not be dull n boring. When I needed power, it must be there. 

I do like it when the surge/turbo kicks in. Like I said, this car been refined, when all those chuchu kicks in, it doesn't give u a neck breaking sensation. Unlike my previous wild horse with 280hp. This is done in a more classy style. But comparing to the bigger boys like the BMW n audi , the gti could be tad bit harsher. You pay what you get. 

With the newly installed carbon intake, it does sound nice. With the sound of the intake sucking up air n those flutters. Oh boy, pretty addictive. 

Next I would talk about the problems faced, cost of ownership in these 2 years and any other business.
