2022 A-Spec vs 2019-2021 A-Spec

Has anyone driven a '22 aspec and owned a pre-refresh one? Is there much difference in ride quality? Not talking aspec advance, just comparing aspec to aspec.

I own a 21’ Aspec, and just drove a 22’ when my vehicle was in for service the other day. Honestly, to me, it didn’t feel that much different. I know some people say it’s quieter and smoother, however, it truly felt very similar to me. I do like the new steering wheel though!

Thanks for the info! I really like the new steering wheel too, but not sure that will be enough to convince me to buy new.

FYI someone said the new steering wheel fits 19-21 as well.

In terms of ride quality, not too much difference from my experience. Similar suspension on both A-Spec models if I'm not mistaken; but more sound deadening on the 2022.

In terms of possible issues; seen none so far on the 2022. But for the 2021, you still have this list to be aware of:

I love my heated steering wheel. When it’s really freezing outside I love it as I remote start the vehicle, wait 5-10 mins until I get in the car and it’s awesome to grabbing that super warm steering wheel. Plus the cabin is toasty by then as well…..
