10,000 miles in 3 months, not one problem. Owned everything from a Porsche Carrera GT to 3 h1 Hummers to 2 G wagons to an M5 and a Z8. This car is excellent.

OK, you guys totally made up my mind, my next SAV will be a X35d, either CPO or new, or Leased...

I love your recommendations...

Thanks everyone for all the great comments. Well, mine is now locked in and LOADED (cold weather, technolgy, premium, spare, rear climate, muti contour seats). Space grey with saddle nevada leather. And I'll be going to Performance Center for delivery, with a scenic drive through Chimney Rock, Grandfather Mtn, Blue Ridge Pkwy, Monticello, etc. on my way back to PA. What better way to 'get acquainted' with the new machine! Can't wait. Got my fingers crossed that we get one of the good ones!!

10,000 miles since 8/2/09. Had (and still may have) serious issues with the moonroof. It is on it's third moonroof cassette and while installing the third one, they did not connect the drain lines. Water drained down and corroded the contacts on the command module for the power liftgate and it would not work (check on this daripper). DVD navi unit also replaced but not a hitch since.

The drive to and from Vegas is a blast with this machine. I can pull almost anybody and get 27 mpg doing 80-85.

I did not order it, found it in stock. My signature has the packages I got. If I had the chance to order, I would get:

Active vent seats or perforated leather. The black leather retains it's heat in the summer. Every leather interior I have ever had was perforated and I can really feel the difference.

Leather dash and console
Premium sound
Rear heated seats.
Maybe head-up or 21" wheels

Did not opt for Sirius satellite. Wish they had XM instead of Sirius, but I have a work around.

I had this same feeling before I ordered, but now it seems Sirius has many XM stations due to the merger. Looking back, I'm glad I included this option.

Are there still XM stations you liked missing from Sirius?

I had XM on my Acura TL. :)

No HUD? Also, remember roof rails are an option. I didn't see them listed so just wanted to point this out.

Also, you will love those seats! I can't live without them now.

Congrats on your order.

HUD was put on 2010MY build restriction back on January 12,2010.

Ask me how I know. :(

Mine has been 100%, no problems at all and all features work perfectly.

I am happy with all aspects of my spec except the running boards that I will be removing soon.

This car is perfect for the role I bought it for and if it was stolen I would buy another tomorrow.

What does this mean? You can't get it? If so, why?

Yes. It means build orders for the HUD can not be modified after 01/12/10. So if you had an order for it in before then you are getting it and can't delete it. If you did not have an order in you are SOL like me. Also applies to Adaptive Drive.

I am assuming it is somehow related to the MY changeover and controlling inventories of what are relatively expensive and uncommon options prior to changing to the 2011s. There must be some sort of internal change related to these two that we are not privy to. :dunno:

Regardless, getting rather late in the game for 2010s anyway.
