Thankfully, one of the salesmen listened to both cars with the same radio station and the same settings and could also hear the difference. We'll see if anything is done to make it better or if I get fed a line of "sorry, can not find anything wrong with it even though we agree that it sounds shittier than the exact same system in the 2010"...

Wow, that is a bummer :(

You'd think after spending days in QC that they'd catch such issues.

It turns out around vin#52000 last year they changed the front speakers and the amp due to people blowing the fronts. Basically castrated the system. To get a comparable sound to the original, I had to set the treb to -8, mids -12, bass +4, and fader to rear 8...and then I had to crank the volume to 35. And even then the sound wasn't quite as full. Thankfully the dealership swapped out the front speakers and amp from my 2010 to get my sound back. If they didn't I'd have been able to still enjoy the BA with the above settings but I really hated cranking the vol so loud.

I got mine last Friday. Actually ended up calling the trucking company because no one else would do anything to help. Cassens trucking was very nice and placed my car on a truck the next following morning, arrived that day. Shows my dealer was full of you know what when they said "there is nothing we can do to get it here faster". Please. Sometimes you just have to make things happen.

Car is awesome. I havent been on here because ive been in my car.

The tint is 15% carbon. It really changes the look of the car. I love it. You have the IO interior don't you? I would go with the orange then, but the red matches the RS logo too. Either way you will be fine. I had my mechanic/body guy do it. Just went to Autozone and picked up a box of red caliper paint and he sprayed it on for $25 a caliper. I added the decals myself.
