I got on it hard in manumatic mode a few days ago, for the first time, basically redlining it in the first 2-3 gears before looking out for cops. Very, very impressive engine. Was raining out as well - couldn't get the wheels to slip off the line. Car just flies, don't it?
Interesting about the experience you had with your transmission. I'm wondering if you were doing anything out of the ordinary while shifting, for it to improve so drastically...

...To me, the Snow switch should be where the hazard switch is...Also, the location of the side mirror adjust switch is STOOPID. Just put it on the driver's arm rest like every other car in the world.

I agree about the snow switch/trunk/vdc & mirror controls. Too far away. Seems like the buttons are closer to your ankles than your hands. The mirror control isn't so bad once you find it...the problem is finding it lol. The circular radio buttons are a joke. There out of place with all the square buttons, plus they aren't even centered in the dash. I understand that the DSP/CTY buttons are supposed to show additional, scrolling display/category info on FM and satellite stations. I just ordered a Sirius factory satellite receiver that I plan to install myself, so hopefully some of these odd buttons will work with Sirius.

You do realize that there are two glove boxes right?
|
Yes, unfortunately they chose to put the navigation DVD system in the upper box, rendering it useless for storage. If necessary, I can always move the manual to the storage bin in the door, to free up the glovebox. Overall, there needs to be more/bigger storage up front imo.

Yes, soft pads = great braking = lots of dust. Expect lots of brake jobs. Fortunately, I can fix that myself.

Love the brakes on this car. Not too concerned about replacing pads if I have to...I'd probably take it to the dealer though. Luckily, I've found a good, inexpensive wheel cleaner/scrub brush at the local AutoZone, dust comes off in 5 minutes.
Looking forward to winter, and driving in the snow.
