New CMS Owners

Aloha

Been browsing the forum the last few days and looking forward to learning more and getting behind the new car.

My wife has had an 06 MC and is trading in her 12 MC. Yes it's really early to,make the trade but due to three knee surgeries in the last year and the addition of either a St Bernard or Pit Bull service dog we need a big vehicle for her. The vehicle is so much easier for her to get in and out of and we have plenty of room for the pup.

We put a deposit down on a 13 CMS earlier and it should be available to pick up later this week. We were going to get a light white s but after going in today to show our preapproval letter we talked a bit more and made a deal on a Absolute Black w/absolute roof. It has the options she wanted minus the alarm. It's coming with Tech Package, Mini Wired Package, auto, 18" 5 star alloys in black, black headlight housing, xenon headlights, white turn signals, dual pane sunroof, anthracite headliner, and park distance.

I am more excited for the car--to her it's just a car. Luckily I was able to talk her into the S. Our other choice was a light white with color match roof w/tech package, mini connect, dual pano, black alloys, and park distance.

I previously had an 04 and 08 VW r32, then an Audi A3 tdi and now I drive a dog hauler '12 Pathfinder.

Looking forward to learning more about the car and enjoying it out here.

Aloha

Welcome!! And great choices!

I had no idea pitt bulls could be service dogs!! That's pretty exciting! We have a Pitt and love him!

Also love my CMS! Feel completely safe, love the handling, the fact that she looks so small but is huge inside (there's so much room)!

Congrats and welcome aboard!

Any dog can be a service dog. Just requires the training.

Got the car tonight and its great. I haven't driven it yet since its hers but I do think it will be a fun car. It's the third '13 sold and first on the road on Oahu. While we were picking up a twin to ours drove by buy but had the roof bars and was dirty.
It's been raining here for the last week and no end in sight so pictures will have to wait. It goes back in on Friday for the to tint. Looking forward to that. Looks silly all black with crystal clear windows. Maybe this weekend ill try to steal the keys to get some pics. If anyone has questions/pic requests about the '13, please let me know.
