Not yet. Brakes a little mushy, and comparment above ashtry shudders when extending out a bit. Have 2600 miles so will be awhile on 1st service.

Yeah AC went out after three days with the car. Driving in 110 plus heat without its not fun. Took them two days to trace the leak where all the Freon or whatever they call it these days went out.

Two braided hoses apparently went out, they are checking to see if they have them in-country, if not they come from Germany.

You should schedule your initial service between 1000 - 3000 miles for the dealer to make sure everything is ok and it is free of charge.
