Service and DCT Issues
My first car was manual transmission and I have owned multiple. After purchasing and driving this car for a short period, I noticed the transmission does not shift consistently and the clutch was slipping when starting from a stop and also when switching from 4th to 5th gear intermittently but frequently, no matter which driving mode I was in. I set up a service call with the dealer for them to check it out. After they checked it out, they told me they were unable to reproduce the issue and that the transmission is state of the art and it would give alerts if there was an issue, which I took this as saying I don't know what I'm talking about. If I was in a car with someone driving a manual and they shifted the way this car does, I would assume they are still learning. I do have extended warranty so I was not in too much of a rush to get it resolved, but I will be scheduling another appointment and hopefully they will be able to 'reproduce' the issue that is constantly happening, even without the 'state of the art' transmission giving error codes.
The exterior of the car looks great, stylish and sporty.
The technology is not great. The infotainment system is slow and laggy. I have received multiple notifications recently saying there will be an update over the next few days, but it has been a month so far without updates. The car I traded in when purchasing this car was a 2007 Lexus (16 years older), had more advanced/stable technology with the exception of lane assist and android auto/carplay, which did not exist at the time. On the lane assist, it will randomly lose the lane and just turn off, with the only alert being a flashing light on the dashboard until if finds the lane again. It also likes to swerve back and fourth in the lane, so you end up just fighting against it to stay in the center of the lane.
