    Yeah, thanks....but are these manuals any good? I assume they are scanned copies of the factory manual??

    I am not one to say because I am looking to purchasing one as well. Hoping to hear more feedback from others.

    At those prices, just buy all of them. Cheaper than a tank of gas, how can you lose!

    FWIW, the manual is out there, but sure is a bit of a let down, compared to Honda manuals I've had over the years. Don't get me wrong, it is great, if only to get the basic maintenance tidbits that Toyo should have put in the Owners Manual, but it's a terse, unfriendly text. And I wouldn't say because it's tailored for mechanics, it's just very cheap/dirty.

    I ordered this one. It appears to be a direct copy of the factory service manual. The seller sent the link very quickly and seems to be decent so far. It appears not much different than most other shop manuals I own so far, which means it isn't as clear and easy to understand as a haynes type mnaul (I probably have 20+ shop manuals).

    I'd recommend this one to anyone looking for a cheap digital version.

    I've got a 2012 gen3, anyone seen a manual yet? I'm curious about the BTU/h of the air conditionner.
