Have had mine a week today. It gets better every time I sit in it. I LOVE MY NEW BABY!! I am gettting a lot more comfortable with all the new tech treats, which is making the drive a lot more uncomfortable. 
I agree about the learning Nav. It is almost a must, especially when dealing with numbers. She gets finicky unless your pronunciation is perfect.
So far, one of the best upgrades I have noticed is the drive itself. This car feels so much more solid and smooth on the road. My '04 was a Sport but it was just a little to much sport. This car retains the luxury aspects while letting you enjoy the feel of the ride. I love the 18-inch wheels.
The integrated Bluetooth is fantastic. I have been able to beam all my address book entries to the car's phonebook without manual entry, then add a voicetag so you can dial with the push of a steering wheel button and two words.. SWEET!!
I have found only one negative so far. Once you program your seat, mirrors, steering wheel, and program your remote to that position, you cannot adjust your seat (say someone gets in the car behind you) without everything moving and not easily going back into the proper position. Minor and I can overlook that little issue.
Will keep you updated!

BigRed on the seats, in the menu is a synco button. So when you move the seat the mirror and sterring wheel auto adjusts with you. You can turn this off. If you want to go back to your programmed seat position just push in on the memory button either #1 or #2 you used to set your seat.Originally Posted by BigRed

I agree with you, I love my baby!
But I haven't been able to get my cell phone address book to download using bluetooth. I have a RAZR V3.

sedanman2007- there is a toll free number to call XM for service activation - the dealer gave me the code they ask for, but it was also on the nav screen.
Then a small song and dance with the call center to register, and turn down attempts to see you other stuff, and a 10 min wait til all the station codes are downloaded and the XM is in business. I doubed i'd want to traffic but its actually handy as I commute around the Beltway near DC and traffic delays are like Russian Roulete, so I may end up indulging for while after the 90 days are up on the free trial.

Thanks! Called them right after I wrote this and I have XM now. Originally Posted by chuckg35

They didn't try to sell me anything. But I had to call back to get my Real Time Traffic turned on.

Thats' right, a 4 post lift. Had it several years back when I had my ZR-1 and then Prowler. Sure makes working on the cars easier. Originally Posted by yassy

Sedanman, that looks pretty good. Can't wait to see it when you get it cleaned up some...
