Talking Finally got it!!!!

WOW!!! Is all I can say(well not really) this car is awesome, I picked it up on Wednesday and haven't stopped driving it since. I look forward to getting in my car and going places. I must admit that I'm very happy with its performance thus far, but will probably still end up modding it


Funny story: As we are coming back after the test drive of my new car, my sales rep goes to back up when to her suprise she has the shifter in her hands and she is turning bright red not knowing what on earth she was going to say to me. So she says" I've been working out", I burst out laughing saying it's ok not your fault, toldl her about this website(which she already new thanks to Deb) and that several people had this problem after delivery. I wish you all could have seen the look on her face when it happend tears of laughter ran down my face. Anyways I couldn't wait for them to get me the part so I left and will be going in today to hopefully install it and be trouble free till service A.

Germans are known for awsome engineering. Their assembly is just plain ole typical. So little things like this happen. Notice most of these smaller delivery problems are fit/finish and not engine/critical.

Aren't you glad now that you got C1? It's damn expensive, but completely worth the price in saved aggravation. Plus: not-so-tech-savy friends/relatives dig how the headrest powers down when flipping the seats foward...

LOL, you're not lying, and i programmed the steering and seat to move back when i shut off the car, man they love that. As for me, i wish i had more money for the other gadgets(oh well). Oh and bluec230k my black knob was actually broken cuz i tried to turn it and so did the tech, then he pulled it off and said it's broken. By the way did I mention how much I LOVE THIS CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
