Yes, John. They have a really good rep and award-winning customer relations. I was wary, but really pleased with their friendliness and being upfront with everything. It was the nicest car-buying experience ever. I used USAA, but could have used Costco or Consumer Reports or Kelly Blue Book, etc. I definitely did some research about the car and the dealer. I'm sure that I could have made a better deal, but I was happy with everything.
I spent the last two days putting Scothgard on all of the seats and carpet, including the panel around the door grabs; then ArmorAll products on everything else plastic and rubber. I used two cans of Silicone spray on all of the rubber inside, outside, under the hood, and underneath. Maybe I'll find something for the paint for after the next wash job.
I chose the two years free service and have to take the car in every 6 months or 6,000 miles for an oil change... and they use and recommend synthetic, 0W20. I've been using synthetic since the mid-70's and that oil is good for much longer. The lifetime powertrain warranty was the other choice, and required that schedule for the oil change, which is pretty excessive, but voids the warranty if not followed! The regular PT warranty is 5 years or 60,000 miles and should be enough.
I still can't get over how spritely that car and the CVT transmission are! It's a bigger car than the Volvo, for sure, and Wifey's still driving my van for now. We're having showers... off and on and she's not ready to try to learn the new vehicle... yeah, there are a lot of "features" and electronics to learn, but not as much as one of the "loaded" ones. I've been through the Quick Guide a few times and have started on the full-sized manual... lots of info!
I want to learn how to set up some of the displays as I want. There are some cautions and warnings about stuff on or around the dash, and especially under the passenger's seat... something to do with all of the airbags and safety equipment. It's not quite like the cockpit of an F-16, but more than anything we've had to date... but I like gadgets!
