Hey everyone, I'm Liz. I just got a 2016 ST1 yesterday! I am still in the process of getting 100% comfortable with a manual, but I am enjoying the car so far I stalled once yesterday up a hill in too high of a gear... Whoopsie. I can't wait to get more comfortable with driving it and really start to see what the car is capable of. I'm sure I will be posting here with questions in the near future!

I am having trouble even figuring out how to change my profile picture!

Profile picture I had to use an online photo editor to crop the picture down to a 150X150 pixel sized image (I think that was the size).

Beautiful car. This is the color I would have gotten if I didn't go with the Kona Blue.

I had a blue one picked out as my first color of choice that was located at a different dealership. Well after I did all the paperwork for it we find out that the other dealership sold it! I was so mad.

Welcome! And congrats on your new ST!

Welcome aboard! Don't lug your engine at low rpms, when in doubt downshift, like always to pass, and don't floor it in 6th (or 5th/4th under 3k rpms).

Once you get comfortable launching, if you wanna get rid of the wheel hop in 1st, RMM and front traction bar really help.

i second this, wasn't made aware until 1 month into owning it and am so glad I was informed... car is a little more fun to drive in Sport Mode or when ESC is completely turned off... ENJOY

Thanks! It was a steep hill and I shifted to third at the base of it and she just couldn't make it. I was pretty embarrassed, but lesson learned! We did discover the wheel hop when my husband was driving it and I'll definitely do something to help that once I get comfortable with my driving
