The dealer dropped it off today so I got to drive it for the first time since the test drive. The rain sensing wipers freaked me out because I thought I accidentally bumped the lever before I noticed that it was sprinkling. Played around with a speedometer app and it only seems to be 1 MPH off at 40, I'll see what it's like on the highway sometime.

It's going to take a little getting used to after driving my Explorer for 4 years. A lot less visibility with this.

You can raise the seat to change the sitting position. While nothing like a SUV, it can help you see better by sitting higher.
Something like a Kizashi may have disadvantages to a vehicle like the Explorer but you'll definitely enjoy the far superior handling and fuel economy.

If the weather stays nice, tomorrow will be my full top-to-bottom detail day. Clay, polish and wax, Q-tip on the inside, the whole nine yards.

Did the aforementioned oil change in all of 30 mins. I love how easy it is to work on this car, especially after spending 10 hours replacing one rear axle bushing on my GTI :x
