This is a copy of a post I made in the November Club. As the founder, and the most recent evacuee, (I left the Club today (YEAH!), I thought I would share these first thoughts with those of you who aren't in the Club, and who may not be reading that thread.

First Report:

This car wants to ROCK - keepin' the revs down is killin' me! You November Club members still in the house - I know the waiting sucks - but your first 100 miles make it all seem worthwhile. The MCS is a stinger - it just wants to move out and leave everyone behind.

The exhaust note is sweet, even in the car. There's a lot of stuff to play with, that's for sure. The weather in Toronto is freezing so I'm getting pretty good at the heater controls. That should be easy, but I've never had an auto-climate control before, so there's little lights that come on all over the place. I think I prefer manual heating/cooling.

How about the radio? 18 AM and 18 FM presets (if I've figured it out right). I don't know that many stations. (Uh oh - I just read the radio manual - I was wrong. There's other stuff happening here, not 18 stations! More reading...)

The CD is great, and the sound system (standard, not HK upgrade) is clean and loud.

Now I'll read the manual!

Just set the temp and forget it! Don't worry about all the "light" with the auto climate control. It's much simplier than you think! Enjoy!
