After much research and test drives, I (finally) take delivery of a new ES300h UL/ML (Nebula Gray, Black, $46k + Tax + Title) on 3/9. I've been driving Acuras for 10+ years and am really looking forward to a change, not to mention the improved fuel economy.

I do have a few questions for current owners...

• Is there an easy way to test the ML audio to see if it has the problem reported by others?
• Is there an easy to way to confirm that the NAV has the most up-to-date content?
• Anybody have any problems with metallic tint?
• Any other "pre-delivery" advice?
• Any other "post-delivery" advice?

Thank you so much!

I have been driving my MDX for a while and it takes a lot of getting used to for the 300h navigation. Combine the cumbersome usage with the lockout of the phone book and DVD and it's really a sore point. But 30+ MPG sure beats the 17.5 MPG I am getting on the Acura.

The latest build for the Navigation should have a 6-1-2012 date.

"Is there an easy way to test the ML audio to see if it has the problem reported by others?"

Listen to a song with deep bass, with the volume above 45 and bass turned up all the way up.

Your dealer can verify the NAV map release date.

Pre/Post delivery advise... carefully check your vehicle from top to bottom.
