Yea, I'm with you there, room sucked, where's the good restaurants? Goody's!?! Not.

Got to visit Bimbo's Bakery!!

Oh, and by the way. whatever was frying under the seat either burnt up or it's life was reduced by half 'cause it was freakin' hot! No heat on the return trip.

grats, good info with the details.

The steering wheel with the aluminum trim only came with the sport package... is that not available even with the sport activity pkg now (if you have it)?

Yep, carpet mats are backordered. (I got rubber mats instead in the meantime).

My experience, and that of dealer, is if you drive 20-30% in city, at best 20,000 miles on Bridgestones, up to 25,000 if less city/turning driving.

How about a mileage and tyres thread?
