Had a loaner today while my 2004 was in for it's 45K service.

Thought it looked pretty nice inside (except that, personal preference is for a lighter interior, and this was dark). I could see buying a 2007 or later. I was underwhelmed for a dark 2006 from last year.

Liked the control center, and the additional options it gave. Some of the options weren't even available in 2004 unless you bought the Navi, such as MPG, etc. Though I did notice they don't give the MPG in decimal form anymore. Just a bar graph. But due to the inaccuracies in my current one, I can see why.

 

45k service??? i'm at 47k and i never got a service for my car...was i supposed to?

 

You can get your average mileage in decimal form by scrolling through the information options in the gauge cluster (the little info LCD between the tach and speedo). The two buttons on the right hand side (opposite the brightness adjustment buttons on the left hand side) of the gauge binnacle allow you to change what is displayed on the gauge cluster LCD screen.

 

Thanks. Guess I didn't play with it enough, the center screen attracted my attention.

 

Just the normal services, oil change, tire rotation, inspections, cabin filter change, etc. At 47K, you should have had some of this done

In my case, they noticed my tires cupping, so I had an alignment done. I'm going to check for tires now, since the $242/tire bare at the dealership seemed excessive, and it would probably be better to buy the tires at a local store in case of problems.

 

Maybe it's just mine with Nav/Tech, but they give it in range to empty and average MPG and average MPH...just have to click through the different options on the side of the guage cluster.
