+1 for checking for people.

Thats a gorgeous color combo. I think the UL version that Hawaii gets is a lot like the Canadian UL's. Headlight washers, air suspension, all that fancy stuff in the back, but no nag.

Congrats, looks great with awesome low mileage and color combo.
Just got mine a week ago also, by far the best driving experience... sorry it took me so long, missed out all these years.

Noise from trunk:
Perhaps the previous owner's middle name was "the". :-)

The only thing I can think of that might cause knocking in the trunk is a worn out gas strut. By now, yours must be about ready to go or gone (or replaced) and maybe loose? Or check if the little toolbox is loose. Or of course, zombies.

Congrats and welcome. Is the trunk aligned all the way down? Maybe the latch is hitting. Enjoy the ride.
