Damnit. I was just coming here to take the wind out of your sales.



Congrats!

Lame cell-phone pic:


I am clearly thrilled.

You will be on Wednesday when you have 200hp and ice cold AC when it's 274 degrees out.

A few quick impressions after a whopping 30 miles of commute time:

• The back window is tiny and the mirror is mounted too high on the windshield, leading to a slightly smaller view than totally necessary. Not a big deal in the grand scheme of things.
• The AC is strong. I usually kept the 328's auto climate control at 68--in the Fiesta, that was too cold for my drive home in 100+ temps. I had to bump it up to 72 and aim the vents away from me.
• Took me a bunch of button pressing to figure out how to scroll up and down the Sirius channel list. The up/down buttons on the steering wheel only go through your presets; you have to use the back/forth buttons on the dash to go through the whole list.
• You can bog the engine pretty good trying to drive it like a big displacement engine.
• Pedal spacing is bad for heel-toe, just like the Focus. One solution is a spacer under the gas pedal pivot.

Love the color.

Have you had it out at night yet? Do you find the dash lights annoying?

[Random]

Haven't driven it at night yet.

edit: tried them out in the driveway just now--didn't seem too bad? The bright green indicator light telling me that I had the headlights on seemed a bit gratuitous though!
