After one week

Dealer was better to work with in person. They offered additional things but were not pushy. Have not had time to get good gas mileage readings yet. I think it should be good. Transmission is not as bad as some have described. It does have a lag and tries to go into 5th gear to early in auto mode. I now drive in manual mode and the lag is almost not felt at all. I have not had any issues with the roof sun screen as of now, It seems smooth and well made. Managed to pull the little keeper off the engine cover turn-lock (don't lift the cover by this) but was easily put back on. Overall very pleased with the car. Has plenty of pep in the manual mode or auto if you keep your foot on the gas. I am keeping the revs down as I am still breaking it in. Lots of questions and strange looks.
