First of all I still absolutely love the car.  I don’t regret buying it even the tiniest bit.  Which is quite an accomplishment because I almost always have a little regret after buying something…even lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings.  For the price I got the car it’s definitely more than what I paid for which is always a good feeling.  Obviously if I had more money I probably would’ve upgraded it bit more, but like I said for what I’m paying I’m extremely happy with it.

Now that I’ve had a chance to actually play with the bluetooth system, it’s amazing.  It’s so easy to dial numbers, pick up, and hang up calls truly hands free.  The only slight downside is that you have to add each entry into the phone book, you can’t transfer the existing phone book.  It’s kind of like the non-power seats…it’s not really a huge issue since I don’t talk to many people on the phone so I added only a few entries.  The only gripe I have about the stereo system is the iPod interface.  It’s just a mini-jack (headphone) cord, so you can’t control which song you’re on from the actual head unit…it has to be controlled from the iPod or in my case my phone.  So I resorted to an old school method of using CDs which is okay because I have a 6-CD changer anyways.   Also I can fit about 100 songs per CD if burned correctly and the car reads them no problem!  The best thing about burning CDs as MP3s instead of a traditional CD is that you can actually see the track name on the head unit.  Also I’d rather be able to change the songs from the head unit since the steering wheel is equipped with the stereo controls.

As far as actually driving goes…still a really fun drive whether or not I’m trying to consume gas or see what it can do.  It handles amazingly and can dodge things on the road with ease (I’ve dodged a few potholes that I didn’t see until the last minute).  It has little low-end power but once you hit that mid-range it almost feel like a turbo kicks in without there actually being once there which is a pretty cool feeling in itself.

All in all I’m still overwhelmed with excitement for this car.  I’ve thought about a few minor/cheap upgrades such as a new shift knob to give it a slightly edgier look inside, but it’s not really necessary.
