lol fenixgoon, I couldn't justify the far greater cost for HP that I really won't need, less mpg, higher insurance, but nicer looking exhaust lol. Instead I got the sport and premium packages lol

Curious, have their been any improvements when it comes to interior durability? I just wonder how long you can keep it white and not have it become a gray or dirt-white.

Great looking car. The steering wheel is nice and beefy--I think that's important in a car. :)

While it is new and the engine has not been broken in yet, I would think you should have better MPG than 19. That is, unless you are sitting in a LOT of stop and go traffic or drive it hard which should not be done since the engine is not broken in yet. On my 330, I get 24-25 in town and 30+ on the highway.

Nightowl, right now it is a lot of stop and go traffic. I am in the valley and most of my driving at the moment is done in stop and go traffic and eavy traffic on the freeway. Also like I mentioned it rained here for over a week and LA people really don't know how to drive when it rains so ive moved at a snails pace =\

The MPG will surely improve, its not even broken in.

Nice ride, now its time to get rid of that ugly front license plate holder.

I was going to blast you for getting an automagic, then I read you live in LA, so now I just feel sorry for you. lol :p j/k

Nice ride man. I wonder how hard it is to maintain a white interior as well.

BouZouki, I actually JUST got pulled over an hour ago... for what? NOT HAVING LICENSE PLATES!!!!!!! it's a new freakin car wtf!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was going to remove the holder until my plates came in but now i am scared if i take it off i will be pulled over again

PeeluckyDuckee, the interior is actually cream/beige and not white. My last car was a 2007 civic coupe with white ext and same beige interior but was cloth and after 14 months i had kept the interior the same as the day i bought it except for the floor matts

I bought a new car and had to wait for my plates to get sent. Maybe it's a NY thing seeing as the OP and I live in commie car country.

wtf? Fromw hat i know it normally takes about 1 month for you to get your plates. Also my purchase was fast, about what 1 weeks form the time i started emailing dealers to me purchasing the car, i only really spoke to my dealer for 4 days before the purchase was made so there is no way they could have had plates etc ready if that is even an options which like i said from what i know it takes about a month for plates
