S vs Non- S and Still Grinning

Ok so after 2 full weeks since we got the CM-S the wife finally has to drive it to work and after me going over all the toggle switches and stuff off she goes.
Later tonight as she comes in from work- I ask "so how was it, drive ok and did you have any problems with the controls". She replies- I think we didn't need the "S" model that car is way to fast- it was like I had to hold it back.
I was reaching into the refrig and suddenly this cheese eating grin comes across my face. To fast???? What do you mean pumpkin. She: well you just tap the gas pedal and off you go.......I had to turn my face as I walked out of the kitchen and headed upstairs- with an even bigger cheese eating grin.

Yup I love that car. ....So if you are debating which model to get- the "S" model is fast- just ask the wife.

So far with 800 miles- no issues, using perm gas (filled up twice) and still ok with the run flats. Oh did have one issue- the seat belt alarm kept going off and displaying in the odometer, even thou I had the seat belt fastened. I undid it several times and it finally stopped chiming.

Oh and I posed a question about the fuel levels. Today I ran it to 1 carrot, with 36 miles to empty showing. Took 10.4 gallons. Think I will fill when the chime goes off and not tempt fate.

If you have something laying in the passenger seat it can set off the seat belt warning. Even something as small as your cell phone placed in just the right spot will set it off.
Congrats on the new ride!

I tend to use the passenger seat as my cell phone holder a lot and it complains at me often. I plan to repair this with NCS Expert soon.
