1,000 mile report... (all comments are in comparison to an'02 Aero wagon)
The Good
1) Stiffened chassis is very noticable (and appreciated)
2) Standard suspension modification is firm, yet compliant
3) Quicker steering ratio is also noticable (and fun!)
4) New bright back lit guages
5) Front spoiler without driveway scrapes-so far a pleasure!
6) Three unsolicited compliments from jaded Palm Springs valet attendents-unbelievable!!!
The Bad
1)Pirelli P6 tires (see Tire Rack survey-enough said)
2)New plastic door handle pulls (see comments below under "speaker grill" problem)
The Ugly
1)Sentronic in manual mode with paddle shift buttons-dumb, and perhaps very dangerous in the wrong cicumstances
So far the positives far outweigh the negatives. I'll be back at 5,000 miles to provide an update.
