At the end of September I finally bought a new 2017 350R. I've been daily driving it since. Yesterday I surpassed 15,000 miles, had 12 miles on it. Here's a list of the good and the bad along the way.
After 3,000 miles I put a set of 6grs and Hankook Ventus v12s on to make daily driving a bit more livable.
We'll start with the bad:
Rear bumper has begun to sag. There's a decent gap separating it and the clips have become visible.
There's an annoying creaking sound coming from the right rear wheel area whenever I take an incline slowly and at an angle.
The right rear wheel area squeaks randomly when driving. Usually after I hit small imperfections in the road.
Sync 3 glitches out sometimes and can't find maps or my phone.
I keep getting pulled over for small speeding violations. No tickets yet (knock on wood)
The famous oil consumption thing has affected my car. After seeing it was bone dry I check it every 1,000 miles and add a quart or two.
The airbag on the passenger side creaks but that may be due to the heat from the the car sitting outside in 100+ temps while at work.
I had the Diode Dynamic Sequential front signals installed by my dealer because I don't have a lift or trust myself to take the splitter off to install them. I tried to go in through the wheel well but the coolers got in the way. Dropped the car off and told them there is a video on how to properly install the splitter back. (They don't get many GT350s in) I get the car back and the splitter is all kinds of messed up. Theres a gap all the way around and the middle was attached underneath the clips. I told them and he said that was the best they could do. Took it to [MENTION=17943]MAV[/MENTION] and he was kind enough to take it off and reinstall it. They must have lost one of the screws because they added one that was way too big. The middle two clips were ripped and the a plastic piece that goes above the front bumper lip was sticking out below it. I have since taken the pictures my girlfriend took and am awaiting the service manager to order me a new splitter at no cost to me.
Now the good:
Everything else.
It's a hell of a daily driver.
The Hankooks while not being great performance tires are lasting much longer than I thought.
The front was wrapped a week after i got it so there are no chips, that i found.
I contemplate trading it in once a week for something else. GT3. R8 RWS, McLaren 570s/GT but can't bring myself to do it. It's a really epic car.
Thanks for reading.
