Default Bought one!

Just got mine yesterday:

Appropriately in the middle of a nor'easter... It was even snowing as I waited for the dealer to pick me up from the train station. Is it going to be a cold, snowy winter? I kind of hope so.

Congrats! I know that dealership on route 17 where you got it. Nicest dealership I've seen...love the way they have all the cars lined up in the window with just the LED's on at night.

Just don't get too close behind those sand trucks and watch out for all that rocky crap sprayed up from for oncoming cars or your paint job will look like it had the pox.

Nice choice... but you might want to think about putting some snow tires on it.

The snow was a bit of a joke... But of course, with summer tires, it's not going to be that great, awd or not. That being said, we had a pretty strong nor'easter last night, and even with the summers on, and at about 37F, the car cut through puddles of cold water pretty comfortably. But not like, "Omg, I wouldn't have made it home without awd!".

After visits to multiple dealers (perhaps 10 in the 30-mile radius, yes we have that many), one of them found this one sitting at port, very nicely spec'ced, I would have ordered almost the same car, so I picked it up:

Ibis white on black, 6-speed manual, premium plus, 18" sports package, bang & olufsen, exhaust tips.

Basically missing nav, and for that I'm just going to upgrade my $250 garmin.

I like all of the options on it, but I'd say the sports package is biggest bang for the buck. Pleasant surprise that the wheels are a darker silver that sets off against the white.
