Quick recap:
Picked up the new EBZ last Tuesday....next day loaded up the trunk and headed 480 miles to the NCM Labor Day event. Came home last night , now have over 1,000 miles on it! :grin:
The drive to BG was to break it in so I took it easy, 4th gear to 5th gear, then 6, varying loads and speed. Never getting near the red line. Slow up, then accelerate.
Trip home was very enjoyable, no traffic, minimal trucks, no construction, BUT a lot of Smokies on the Interstates! The V1 sure paid for itself! Never exceeded 95 mph, but I always drive easily when my wife is passenger. (speed and hard turns upset her). This car wants to go! It is definitely louder thanthe '01 was. Ride is more comfortable, and it seems easier to shift smoothly. Clutch feed is smooth and easy! I just love driving the new car under all conditions! :grin: Will report more after I have a chance to drive it (Harder) when I am alone.
Summary: Over 1,000 miles on it, no oil leaks, consumption, nor any problems at all! It does everything is is supposed to do without a whimper!
Yes, it feels quicker and the HUD is certainly a plus.....Love the self dimming mirror at night.
Gee, I love this car! :guiness:
