I read somewhere a full bolt on (i/h/e + tune) was comparable to a stock 2nd gen.

As someone who owned the 1st gen (2016), almost everything about the 22+ is nicer. They really did put in some work and elevated the feel of the car. The buttons, knobs, overall feel of the interior feels more premium. Did I mention the torque?

Really only a few things that irk me: the ugly rear end, trunk opening is slightly smaller, the seat still squeaks near the seatbelt area, and the suspension is a tad bit soft compared to the 16. It does make for the perfect DD though. No major problems being reported yet.... but the biggest one is probably the turn signal sporadically not working / blinking super fast.

Overall though, I think most people will enjoy the 22+. Not to mention the fact that something like this still exists. Rwd, lightweight, affordable.
