  • Like, are you asking why Waze is better than some car makers maps? Um, okay:

    1. Maps are always up to date, for free. We moved into a new house in new block, and Waze (nor car maps) had our house or street - opened Waze map editor, entered my house, neighbours houses, three days later food delivery guys had no trouble delivering food to us and our neighbours - Google Maps and Waze got updated. That easy.
    2. Live traffic information. Hidden police where everyone is doing 10 over speed limit? Marked. Accident and your usual street is in a standstill? Marked, new route provided. Street is closed for maintenance? Marked, up to date route is calculated. You used to turn left in this intersection for 5 years and suddenly there’s new sign saying you can’t? Waze knows that and shows route correctly, your Toyota will tell you to turn left.

    I seriously had no idea why manufacturers even bother adding navigation to their cars, but it seems there’s still people like you who… use it? :D

    Golf R mk8 with downpipe, air intake and intercooler does 470 BHP at the crank on same 98 RON pump fuel, so like 380 to wheels based on guestimators? Every 2.0 turbo charged I4 does this.

    > Total additional investment, parts, labor, tune, dyno was about $6k to maybe $6.5k. I think I paid right around $38k for it new, so for under $45k total, you’re not going to come close to it except with cars that break 6 figures.

    Well we’re talking about FL5. And for that insane price I sure as fuck wouldn’t get a Civic, it’s insane paying that much money for a Civic, I’d rather get a used 718. Both prices are bonkers, but at least with one car I wouldn’t end up with FWD economy shitbox.
