I have only driven it home so far. A few thoughts...

Man this car looks great in person! It is stunning in the Sprint Blue. All black interior with black silk nappa seats looks great! I was worreid when I saw dcoy's post about his seats, but mine are fine. There are about a million menus on the MMI display. This will take awhile to sort out. The 6MT shifter is very smooth. Engine is almost too quiet though. I have to watch the tach as I can't hear the engine very well. An exhaust will fix that. The seats are great, lots of support.

I also found out why our cars are showing up early to Seattle from Houston. They did not put it on a rail car in Houston. It was loaded up on a truck in Houston and drove up here.

Why can't they do that with cars to NorCal then?! It would be a shorter drive!

I don't see why they couldn't.
