More mainstream video reviews starting to arrive.

Nice review. Thanks for sharing. Interesting that he now lines the M2C more than an RS3.

I enjoyed that he liked M2C. He did get some facts off though. AFAIK the transmission is the same as the M2...or am I wrong about that? He also said that you could turn off the rev match which is sort of true by using DSC off or coding it out, but most people don't want to drive in DSC off all of the time and most average drivers don't code their cars.

Thanks for the review - basically a bloody brilliant car for the money...... I can’t wait to get mine... looking like a Christmas present now

due the the delay with the performance brakes!

I too think the transmission is the same. How about the rev matching? Can you really turn it off? I didn't think you could.

AFAIK, it's off when DSC is also fully off but not sure if there is any other way.

You can code it out or enable it in different drive modes. The Mod3 guys can do it for you.

I meant from factory... they in the video says it's possible turn it off and I'm sure he's not talking about coding it off or flashing your DME with BM3

They should send Carlos Lago to launch events. If he is still with Edmunds?

Biginboca · 09-08-2018, 05:11 AM

This is the first review I’ve watched of the M2C. Very positive review and definitely makes me want one lol...

How much would it cost to change a US-spec rear seat to that EU-spec rear seat with the seatbelt for the middle position? Intrigued . . .
