The tech specialist should run through everything with you. Plan on spending over an hour with him.

Congrats!!!

The biggest "issues" (not really) that took some time for me getting used to on my UL was a) the roof won't auto-close--the roof only auto-opens. Bummer; I suppose it is related to protecting the glass if something got caught. Second was opening/locking the doors. Dunno why, but that took some getting used to. Now I walk out to the car without my keys and the door doesn't open! LOL! Good luck and have fun! I'm lovin' my loaded '14 UL!

my roof closes automatically.

Hey congrats on the new edition. Post up some pics when you get it.

I hardly ask the dealer anything about the vehicle, my only conversation with them is about financing and payment questions. You are better off getting your info by doing your own research.

Because, that's their job. If they're not willing to go over everything with you in detail, they can be dinged on the survey.

I usually never hang around very long, since I usually know more about the car's features than anyone at the dealer. The Tech Specialist at the dealer I purchased from, changed that perception. The guy knew the features inside and out.

I usually take advantage of the initial walk thru on a new car. I always pick up on some tips and features. My wife gets a lot out of them too. Good experiences on the pick up of our last few cars.

We both have them, but why would the standard be any different in that regard?
