A little update at the 5 month mark. Sitting at 2700 miles.
It's everything I loved about my 15, and more.
It's everything I loved about my 15, and more.
- Not to be too braggy (I know, I know), but the triple beam headlights are amazing.
- Love the HUD.
- I've gotten used to the new nav system.
- Car still feels quieter than my 15.
- I'm finally used to the digital gauges.
- Getting about 2 mpg better than my 15. I will be taking it on its first road trip soon, so I'm interested to check the mileage on that trip.
- Love the all-speed DRCC.
- Less impressed with the lane centering feature. It does a reasonable enough job on most highways, but it can't handle very much of a bend before it drifts into the other lane. I usually keep it off.
- Power trunk opening is soooooo sloooow....
- If I were to do it again, I would have purchased Atomic Silver. My 15 was AS, and I wanted something different this time, but now I wish I would have just stuck with it.
- Windows tinted, ceramic coating applied, front license plate mount in the trash.

I would have loved a red one. Very good looking and even less common than the other colors. Funny enough, just the other day I came out of the grocery store and parked next to me was another post-refresh GS, but in red. I drooled a little.

Thanks. I loved my 15. Such great cars. I always get bored with a car at the 2-3 year mark. The 15 GS was the first car I've ever had where that didn't happen. And I have no regrets on moving to the 19.

No doubt, haha. I'd be more than fine waiting a couple years before going to the newest GS I can find. Only thing I would change is I'd like F sport exterior, though not sure I am ready for that undertaking.

The f-sport interior is nice, but I might give the lux a try next go round. The seats in the f-sport are very good and very adjustable, but I heard the luxury seats are even more comfortable.
