CSL - what would you have changed

[toplad]

Id have a manual and wouldn't mind a arm rest on the drivers door

Smg only, is the biggest fuck up since bill Clinton jizzed on that bird's jacket and didnt have it dry cleaned.

A club sport package would have worked well.

Better brakes
Manual
Better seats
Half cage/ no rear seats
Lighter Exhaust

& Cup holders

Not really an issue but often thought I’d prefer the gear indicator displayed higher on the dash.

I’m 6ft but even at that were I like the steering wheel it can obscure the gear indicator a little, at the top between the rev & speedo I think would be ideal.

But ya better brakes are a requirement & a half cage would've been nice.

Oh well. I suppose SMG is a bit like having a pot of Marmite in the car - perhaps in one of your cup holders?

Smg as said is superb when driven hard and realistically if you don't use or drive the car how it should be driven you've bought the wrong car!

IMO when you drive around steady in town & traffic etc it's fine if you decrease the senstivity down to a couple of bars.

I always wanted a CSL but before I made my purchase I did the rounds and drove the rs4 (boring) and ive owned an rs focus mk2 and many other similar cars, but the longest I kept any car was six months!

Now a year with the CSL and I wouldn't change it for anything in the sub 50k bracket

Do agree with the comments regarding a cup pack with cage and harnesses etc

What a load of fan boy rubbish

I suppose its easier for you to say I bought the wrong car than for you to admit that smg is piss poor at any other thing than track driving or when on a charge.

I test drove many cars and knew the pros and cons of the smg gear box, for my particular needs I can live with it, but that doesn't mean its not poor in auto mode does it?

Id much prefer a manual, I miss matching the revs and heal n toeing down through the box.

I would also choose a manual gear box.

But you know that I don't track the car much and rather use it as a garage queen on sunny week-ends.

I wouldn't mind a reinforced subframe too. I've had no problems with mine, but it keeps me worried.

The concept car of the CSL was kind of better with :

-no rear seats
- better seat
- no rear electrique windows
- more carbon

The E9 CSL did have rear seats, had the Scheel seat (better in some ways), did have electric windows and of course plenty of aluminium.
