Chose the Galaxy Grey.The tire vibration on the other went away after I drove it awile,but after looking at them both,the Silver looked too bland.The Silver and the body lines of the car almost make the car look "dented"in a way.Anyway,I like the car,and I am driving it pretty normal now.The only complaint is that 6th gear can be awkward,to find.Hasn't happened,but I bet it would be easy to mis-shift into 4th,takes a little push to the right and back to hit 6th.Eveyone else notice this?Just wonder if it is my car,or all of them.

6th gear is not easily confused with 4th... drive it more than a day and you will notice this.

 

Oh, hey sorry to somewhat stray off topic, but not really.... with your gears.... while you're driving at higher rates of speeds, anything above 30? Does your tranny block off reverse? Because I know it does in my buddies accord, I'm just curious because it would suck to just push to far to the right and down?

 

Oh,might be a stupid question,but my car came with Michellin tires.Are these the summer tires or all season?Also,has the mudguards and moonroof visor thing.I paid $21000 for the car,but I will still have to pay for the tax,etc.The dealer was not arrogant or pushy like I have experianced in the past.

You probably have all season tires then.

 

Yeah, thought it would.... otherwise I'm sure we'd hear about all kinds of misshifts..... possibly.

All seasons

Horrible Horrible tires

 

Why are they horrible?I thought Michelins were good tires.The ones on my Ford lasted over 70000 miles.Are they horrible from a performance view,or all around?

 

real bad for performance...also GOD AWFUL in rain...thankfully havent experienced them yet in snow...but i hear thats coming this weekend

 

Pirelli P Zero Nero M+S = pretty freaking good all weather tire. I've driven on ice, in the rain, and in 3+ inches of snow and slush. I'm absolutely amazed that the tires did so well in the snow and on ice, and rain traction is freaking great.

 

Ive driven in rain storms no problem with the stock all season michelin tires and will be running them this winter they arent desinged for high performance driving but everything else they do well and this is with almost 10,000 miles on them NY roads and many driving conditions !

 

Since your new to the car, 6th is kinda funny to find. Had the same problem in the beginning as well, but drive it a bit and you'll know where it is.

Stock all seasons do sux ***

 

congrats on your purchase.

good thing i got the summer tires.

 

I refuse to drive with my allseasons in the rain. They absolutely SUCK! My car's just been sitting under the canopy for the last 7 days cause of this nasty winter weather down here in Texas.

 

I drove my car in an ice storm and snow the other day with the all seasons and it was perfectly fine. The tires get the job done as long as you drive according to the weather conditions.

 

i am in desperate need of mudguards

 

doe it say HPT on your window sticker price? then it come with summer tires

ABSOLUTELY WORTHLESS in the snow. First snow here and I had to go out and buy new tires and wheels.....to the tune of just under $900.

The summer tires are great ... but in the snow they are an absolute JOKE. If you've got the HPT's and live where it snows its 100% neccessary to get winter/all season tires

 

4th is straight down, 6th is to the right.... never was hard for me. This is my first stick too. Won't be going back to auto until, if ever, i get a family car.
