Bringing my '23 BS Heritage Trim (3-cyl) in for it's 10k service this week. Coincidentally, i also got a flat tire this past friday. The local tire shop couldn't do much with it (i had picked up a razor blade in the tire and it was too long a cut to do much with it). They popped the spare on...

Usually, at a 1/4 tank, i start thinking about filling up again and almost always fill up by the time the computer shows a range of about 75 miles.... saves some worry, and also running the tank down to nothing, which isn't good.

In a pinch, you can use the controls on the steering wheel to operate the radio. It’s inconvenient as can be, but it worked for me for about a week, until my dealer could do the synch update when they handled a recent recall.

Agreed. At initial startup of the vehicle the first "click" activates the dashboard graphic display for mode selection. It always starts on Standard Mode... 2 additional clicks to get to Sport mode Once driving, i'm not sure where the display lands. I'm assuming it highlights the mode you...

Mystery solved!!?

Agreed. Besides from a factory lift and a bit larger tire as standard equipment, I'm guessing a boatload of cosmetic bells and whistles? I'm not sure what they can add to the BS that will make any substantial difference if using the same transmission, which seems to be one of the... let's...

You can say that again. Your console mod looks good.

I’m in the molding biz and understand that painted surfaces can be more easily matched for consistency but, at the expense of durability seems surprising. I guess I had expected a bit more durability. I’m very easy on my BS and did not expect to see this sort of wear. Live and learn. Nothing...

So, is the center console painted over plastic? I usually keep a set of keys in one of the cup holders and it appears that the top edges of the cup holders are scratching off and showing white beneath. ? It’s not like I throw the keys at the cup holder, I simply drop them in when I have...

THIS ^^^ I had read the same. Leftover sand, from the casting process, getting sucked through the water pump is ridiculous. Who knows what other havoc this may be causing...

Admittedly, I don’t fiddle with temp a ton, but it does get adjusted depending on the day.. I’m in New England and there can be pretty big temp swings from day to day. But as mentioned (for me) doing anything on the screen, I find really distracting from driving. I don’t mind glancing at the...

I think the screens are terrible for adjusting temp controls and radio. Dials and buttons (for me) take much less of my attention away from driving. Ideally, i guess reliable voice controls would be the most effective, however i'm not a big fan of being without a physical method of...

Sorry... doesn't look like i answered this one. Recall was completed on 6/20 all seemed fine. Had a road trip over the course of a few days starting on 6/30 (all highway) where i averaged 35mpg which i thought was amazing and mentioned in in another mpg thread somewhere. The fill up...

Honestly.... given the perceived? sensitivity we seem to read about these transmissions, I'm going to request a 30k fluid change regardless of my driving style or idling history. I like and enjoy my BS but the only question i had going in to the purchase, which remains today, is the...

Sort of a wild guess but… grille shutter? I think the 2.0 uses them like the 1.5? if not, maybe some random trim piece

I track my mileage pretty closely and drive VERY consistently (both route and driving style) My mileage is off about 10% since having the recall work completed. I have questions. So... i'm not a mechanic or electrical engineer, just a guy driving his BS and keeping an eye on mpg regularly...

Thanks for the suggestion. I’m at a shade ove 9k miles. I think it was last changed at 4.5k. I’ll check my records. Certainly can’t hurt

This is a stock ‘23 BS with the 1.5l engine. I think you may have misunderstood… I’ve dropped from 28.5 computer calculated / 27 hand calculated (which I find very acceptable mileage) to 25.5 computer calculated to 24 hand calculated, with no changes in route, driving habits, fuel used (fill...

Same gas station for fill ups, calculate mpg manually AND look at what the display provides. And while those 2 numbers never agree there is a consistent decrease in mileage either way…. Auto start/stop engaged. Listen, my life is like Groundhog Day… SO few variables ?‍? which is probably...

I really don’t spend time idling in my area…. A 10% difference seems seems a lot to me… given no change in driving habits or route.
