Why'd you buy it?
- SuzukiBrian 1y agoBecause it's otherwise a great car. I did notice the problems during the test-drive, but I figured it wasn't a problem, since it could be turned off in the console. So I turned them off and forgot all about it. I would never have imagined that some obscure EU-regulation, that I've never heard about, would require them to turn back on.
- mort96 1y agoYou can't avoid cars with these anti-features if you want a new car. They're required by law in the EU.
- userbinator 1y agoCatalytic converters are required by law too, yet I know plenty who have done a "cat delete" on their vehicle. As a simpler example, pulling the seatbelt chime fuse was a common mod long ago when I grew up. You may want to check if the modding scene has any solutions for your make and model.
- bzzzt 1y agoIf you modify your car in such a way in the EU it won’t pass the mandatory yearly inspection which means it’s no longer road legal.
- userbinator 1y agoYou obviously restore your mods before the inspections, and redo them afterwards. Even the "stupid Americans" know that much. ;-)
- jollyllama 1y agoYeah, that's why I don't buy new cars. Put up or shut up.
