Default 2011 is 350c

Picking up a Matador Red / Alabaster as soon as one becomes available. Anything in particular that I need to know would be appreciated. The car will be the wife's car, so it will not be driven hard. Also, I read a sticker on the windshield that said the 18 inch high performance tires will only get 15k miles. Thanks.

It says that about the tires because the factory alignment sucks for tire life, so for a ton of folks somewhere between 15-20k the inner tread on the front tires is GONE, but the rest of the tire, and the rears, are still fine.

A decent alignment shop that understands how alignment works, rather than just making the lights on the machine turn green, can fix this.
