Well if the @beast decides to give me a great trade in deal on a 2018 Stang. I might get rid of it!

There is nothing to worry about there trust me.

Cool family car for sure! Love the front and rear view, but not digging this thing from the side. I think its that funky looking rear window shape?

 

[wombat]

it's less weird when you say "dick joke" instead of "penis joke" you fucking weirdo [MENTION=127]wombat[/MENTION]

what's wrong with the word penis, you dick...

Damn way more back seat room than I even expected.

Review of the HK sound system? Heard they copied BMW and put subs under the front seats in the floor.

Does it have HUD?

Any thoughts here?

Way more room then I expected as well and one of the reasons I went with it compared to other mid size sedans. I am no audiophile but the Mids and Highs sound pretty darn good. Bass is not to bad. So it plays kidsbop very well but probably not great for classical rock blasting . You need to go with the GT2 package to get the HUD. I really don't need or miss it (X5M) had it. The pitch of the front windshield and where the cluster is works for me. And the cluster displays a lot of information as well in a comfortable viewing area. Ignore the check engine that's all fixed.

So you're holding out on pics... I see how it goes.

Tint pic updated in first post. I did not go dark just 20% all around. I have done the superdark on most of my other cars and was getting annoyed with it.

Damn she look good with tints.

5% or no %

I don’t need my ugly mug bringing down the look of my vehicle.

Congrats on the purchase

[MENTION=1180]blueoval4life[/MENTION] were you by Fenton High School turning onto NB 83 the other day? If not there's a clone of your car near me...made me want to buy one even more

 

[Yaj Yak]

Definitely not me. Just got the car back yesterday and have not left Wheaton since.

 

[bimmer4life]

Meh back to the dealer for me . Disappointing I really love driving this car. Hopefully they get this sorted out on the second visit.

 

[Mook]

You're giving the trolls more ammo BUT you're also being open about Stinger ownership....so kudos for that.

 

[Yaj Yak]

what's the dealer experience like [MENTION=1180]blueoval4life[/MENTION]?

is it like ford/gm/dodedge where you have to convince some service writer that doesn't want to talk to you at all that your shit is broke and then beg for a rental car like your life depends on it?

 

[bimmer4life]

Unfortunately the car is still very new to the techs at the dealers. And they really have not seen many issues. So anytime the car goes in they call up a tech support team for the car. So they can troubleshoot remotely. I guess last time it was in they had them test about 10 different electrical connections clean them up and apply connector grease. It worked fine for about 3 days. Car drives fine its just very annoying.

Nah not at all. Service guys have been great. I can't imagine anyone trying to fight me on a car with only 500 miles on the clock. They also provide a loaner car with no issues. I just wish that loaner was a Stinger and not a Optima.

Ive been putting off calling VW service b/c I'm not looking forward to what I'm sure will be a lousy experience.

 

[Bru]

Is that a gas cap code?

 

[bimmer4life]

Is that a gas cap code?

Well that is what they originally thought. And sent me on my marry way when the car only had 100 miles on it. But gas cap codes are usually gross leak detected. This one appears to be more electrical or issue with purge valve maybe?

I haven't had great luck with new cars lately. When I bought my Golf R the A/C was not working. Had to take back into service to find out factory missed an Oring somewhere. I took it to Fox Valley VW in St Charles the experience was pleasant.
