The leather is very nice people flip at all the toys on the little car. Got a cable to hook up the wifes MP3 player at the local Radio Shack, sitting in the parking lot setting it up a crowd forms camera phones click "I gotta get one of those" is common, folks seem to love it or hate it.

The rain sensing wipers will be useful for the monsoon season, but they could have replaced the automatic lights with an adjustable steering wheel. I prefer to turn my own lights on and off, thank you very much. It would be different if I lived where there were a lot of tunnels.

Both struck me as answers to questions I never asked. Never minded holding the key until the car started. The day was overcast yesterday the "car" saw this as dusk. OK, has not bothered me yet. This doesn't add a bunch of weight you can switch it off what the heck coddle me some more.

I'm with you, especially because I never use the auto lights on the cars I've had with them (don't like the on & off, and with xenons it is actually not great for the bulb) and I really need an adjustable wheel - I'm short and actually the angle of the wheel is too high for me, not sure what I'm going to do about that yet

(You have to understand, I've become addicted to heated seats after giving in to trying them..)

Maybe higher seat rails...

5'1", in proportion (not long or short waisted). When I hopped into a car in the showroom the wheel felt and looked angled too high, haven't driven it yet.
