Wheels are small? 245 45 18 is huge for that car ! STEERING is tight, and fast response... along with Go cart like road handling on turns.. You, Sir are a hater of anything that doesn't burn rice ~

lobok

Eyeing one right now as a replacement for my Mk 7 Golf R. White 2018 manual with MPE. Garage queen with under 6k miles. Would make a sweet daily.

Comp is far superior anyone that says the opposite is just coping.

That's not the standard steering wheel. Looks great. I have a base Sky and really enjoy it.

152k miles on my Lci and still going strong. Still feels like new!

Cool video man!

im a proud owner of 2018 M2 LCI

The chrome and fake vents shout 90s. Oddly though the cleaner looking Solstice is aging better. One can only imagine what if these cars were to live on with new iterations.

I made a M2 GTS, minus the rollcage i have the 2018 version and got the 763M rims on em, too crisp

I have a black Redline...3520 miles...it's like new.

Thus was amazing man thank you. Im a fellow nfr owner

Just purchased an M2 LCI and my God do I love it. What a car.

im not selling mine anytime soon

2:55 sounds like compressor stall. If that car is tuned you may want to upgrade the waste gate to a gfb or equivalent. Could be just my headphones but it sure sounded like surge. With that being said this is top 3 my favorite cars of all time and it will be always worth owning no matter what M car BMW puts out.

A Miata looks like a little piece of junk next to a Solstice or Sky!

Who did the tuning?

#1 thing to look for, leaking water pump. Takes hours and hours to fix, no fun. #2, item, the timing chain guides self destruct, especially on the pre-2008 car, To check this, pull the VTT actuators out, and look at the screens on them. If they have debris on them, it's coming from the timing chain guides. You have to pull the front of the engine apart to fix this $$$$. I have a 2008 sky redline, and it's a great 5th car, ... but.... the bad news, the Sky is a collector car now, and may parts are unavailable, such as the headlights, tail lights, clutch flywheel (and the list goes on). Even used tail lights off ebay tend to have crazing cracks. It's a fun collectors car, to be sure, but not a practical car for every day driving, expensive to maintain and work on too. Radiator fan controllers fail, and are expensive, buy you can use a duplicate ford part for $18 (check out the sky forum for details) Those front side panels crack and break, and are no longer made. Heck, you can't even buy shocks for it (you are stuck with expensive aftermarket racing coilovers). No room for cargo, at all really, but I have trailer hitch on mine, I put my race tires in it. Passenger air bag sensor is a recall item, and can be fixed for free by GM. Having said that.... fun fun fun...and a look like no other in town.

G87 💪👊❤

I bought the car a year ago. It checks all the boxes. It looks great, it’s fast and it’s has not given me any problems.

Crazy people think it's not an M car because it has 30 less hp over the Comp M2 lol. This is the true drivers M2.

The steering wheel is from a 2013 C6 Corvette ZR1… looks better with better grip, we have the C6 in my daughters car too, the oem steering wheel is round…

Great car and nice review… I like the style of the videos and the story you’re angling for! Bravo 👌🏾💎🐰😎💥 Bought my daughter an 07’ and love it so far and I hope we will enjoy it for many years to come!

That N55 sounds so glorious! No need for the comp... Maybe the wing mirrors tho 😊

At auto cross, there could be 150 cars, and my Redline. I have the only Saturn sky there, and people notice. Pop the hood, and 5x more people notice. Drop the top... they all notice

Yeh I have the n55 people stop and wait from a far distance to see what it is and when I passed them they are still looking. Sound is addictive.

As an owner of an OG M2 LCI I humbly say i absolutely love this car. The N55 sounds so much better than the comp and I bought it over one for purely that reason.

*I'm the proud owner of a 2018 ///M2 LCI, and my passion for it remains as strong as ever. This car isn't just a vehicle; it's a continual love story. Since its purchase in 2018, the stereo has been almost redundant, as I'm captivated by the symphony of its grunts, growls, groans, and the lively snaps, crackles, and pops. It's by far the most sonically dynamic engine I've experienced. For the ultimate thrill and driving pleasure, I prefer the windows down and stereo off, immersing myself in its raw essence. It's a race car reimagined for the streets. With the addition of the DINAN exhaust package, it now resonates with the exhilarating echoes of Laguna-freakin'- Seca.*

The ride is fine but far from “Cadillac like”.

Mine had oil consumption issues from 4k-9k miles. After 20k its all but gone. Now at 30,000 miles and zero consumption. I think the engine is fully settled in.

For some reason, everyone that goes boost always goes for big boost, big power. More always = better. But you quickly go down rabbit hole of more and more compromises, more mods, just to handle the power. Soon its a very different car than what made you fall in love with this platform in the beginning. People get bored with boost, then either sell or go back to NA. Its fun to drive a really powerful car. At first. Its addictive. But soon you're jaded of a trick pony. If you aren't just trying to boost your ego, then aim for 300-350 whp. You just need an act pp, and most of rest of car can remain stock. It'll still have most of its original personality (especially if you go centrifugal sc), just dialed up to 11.

Bought a late 2016 OG M2 8 weeks ago. Love it. It's raw, it's pure, and it's fun.

You mean 19 inches wheels from the factory??

subaru impreza is cheaper and handles better than both of them

I loved your review. My take on it is that the Type R and S are really enthusiasts cars. Most likely anyone who purchase one would modify it. So problems with exhaust, or others things can be changed.

I paid retail in Canada with a reasonable discount on bronze wheels and winter tires. The car without tax and extras came out to $44300 us with exchange rate. $48500 with tax, extra Bronze wheels, michelin Alpin tires, protection pack, pet seat ptotectors and 7 year extended warranty, full front ppf. If i want more spice as you say, my summer car is a Porsche GT3. Super cheap mods to make type S 400hp and way louder if you want. I like mine just the way it is! Have to play the game with dealers, just bought mine end of year with dealer trying hard to make quotas for future allocations.

where in michigan bro!

Bro… Love your content ❤and really appreciate what you are doing. BTW. let me know, if you need an editor for your YT videos. As, I am a professional video editor and would like to contribute to your channel.

If your gonna get a new $50k acura boat I think im getting the TLX Type S

Sos stage 1 supercharger...linear power adder, stock clutch, sounds like that might cover your concerns lol

my s2000 is n/a. When I had my turbo civic I said I always wanted a turbo s2000. When I parted out my civic I had no desire to boost the s2000. Reliability on the s2000 and rsx have been top notch. Maybe a supercharger for it would keep the feel the same, don't need anything crazy. But then I think the money I spend on that could be put towards my dream car (viper) instead of just wasting money here and there and never having any saved up for anything lol

I have a 20k mile 06 Solstice which has never been driven in rain. I will NEVER sell it.

Too bad most of us 90's kids can't actually afford it. Glad I was able to get an FK8 Civic Type R that offers nearly everything the Integra has (with better performance) for $13k cheaper.

5:02 yellow s2000 stalks him behind as he says direct input

The most common thing people do in the UK is supercharge them, but superchargers don't solve the low end torque problem since they make boost in proportion to revs, meaning the 1st half of the power band is still lacking. The only thing that will solve the low end torque is a stroker kit, like 2.4l or so. From 84mm stroke to 99mm

Great review!

Fantastic review!

Amazing video and thank you for pointing out all the changes with the m2og LCI. A lot of buyers aren’t aware and this is a true M car. I prefer it over the m2c.

Awesome review! It was so hard to keep up with you in the S2000 lol. I agree with you on the Civic. For the money, I would have gotten one of those if the markup didn't exist.
