I drove the car to work and back today, no scangauge, had to steal it out of my girls car after I got home. She is going to be mad when she notices it is gone in the morning.

Neutral coasting works well. going from Neutral to Drive and back at 10-20-30-40-50-60 was tested and no problems! no hard shift no jerk no bang no wrong gear no rough upshift or downshift no metal chunks flying in the rearview smooth shifting all the way.

My normal driving "style" is pulse and glide. I am familiar with my routes and I know I need to hit 40MPH here and I will coast just close enough to stop at the left turn red-light ect ect. hopefully this car allows that "style" of driving!


Speedo / ODO tested with GPS and looks good
Temp gauge is either broken or the thermostat is stuck open.
The seats are super nice.
Radio is very nice.
muffler strap rusted out and came off in the driveway.
power locks are annoying.
cig lighter plug is missing
Installed the Scangauge
Ordered a OBD2 splitter + Bluetooth adapter I plan to have both the scangauge + torque / navigation on the dash. (can't have enough data)

Found some old paperwork in the car!!




Also found cigarette butts in the car! They are over 10 years old!! I guess no one cleans out the "spare" car....

I need to clean this thing out! you should see the layers of grime under the front license plate bracket! But I'm afraid if I wash too much more paint will come off
