    I've been rear ended, broken into and had my windscreen broken. All this in 1000 miles. Not to dwell on the negative, I traded in a 15 mpg audi and have gotten 55 mpg (pump math) over the first two tanks. That is real nice. I look forward to owning this car. It is fun to drive. I am glad to have found this community, I am sure I will have lots of questions and comments.

    Nice ride!

    Do you miss not having a cargo cover or rear wiper?

    Thanks!

    Yeah, I would love a cargo cover! As for the wiper, on cars that had one I rarely used it. I may miss it in winter.

    Nice one! Don't worry about the missing rear wiper,. It rains a lot here in Cornwall UK and yet I seldom have to use mine. On the open road the airflow soon clears the upper screen and in the city/slow traffic, the lower screen stays fairly clear.

    Welcome and drive safely. I feel your pain. I'm around here because my previous car was crushed, and the one before that was rear ended. Just curious, where was the photo taken? It looks like you're in a ride share area in a casino parking lot on the strip.
