After almost a week with the Arc, here are some thoughts:
1. Best car I've ever owned
2. I really like the "Sport" mode; w/out it, acceleration seems weak
3. Very smooth ride; seats are excellent all 'round
4. Blind spot over my left shoulder is a bit disconcerting. The side pillar is large; between it, and the side of the headrest, there's not much room to see traffic coming right up beside you.
5. Love the self-dimming side mirrors
6. Gas mileage is wonderful compared to my '96 Cherokee, and I have more room :)
7. Yesterday my "DICE" (?) computer went out, but was fixed same day. My SID displayed "Park Assist Failed", the radio locked up, no turn signals, no daytime running lights, no rear wiper. Service dept gave me a loaner, scavenged another of these computers from a new 2004 Aero on the lot, and everything works ok except some radio stations are not coming in very well anymore. Back to dealer Monday to check connections.
8. Got my roof rack rail bars installed tonight; to Home Depot to get some plywood tomorrow :)
9. If anyone is on the fence about getting an Arc 9-5 wagon, get yourself off the fence and go get one!
