Just some notable comments

2011 SLS AWD

Good:

Mileage improving still. Just did a trip to Cedar Point. 450 miles at 75 mph got 32 mpg
Still feels solid
Still have original pads/rotors
CVT got use to my driving style and I am more comfortable with it

Bad:

Slow out of the hole (afraid to pull out on a fast road)
I would like to see the A/C work better at idle. Need to be on the road for A/C to cool car on a hot day. (Black on Black)
Paint chips continue
$120 for two f#cking windshield wipers

Warranty

Replaced both head lights
Replace all 4 wheels (peeling)
Replaced Nav/Radio

Dealer very good to work with. I would still consider another Kizzy but not before I saw some positive improvements on paint issues.

Where did you find windshield wipers for that high price? Aren't they available at Costco or anywhere else for considerably less?

Jeez I have a 2010 & it's at around 37K miles lol, but about the paint, I'm very interested in wrapping my car in vinyl so I could protect it for the time I have it until I sell it..

Well I was in for an oil change and it needed new wipers so I said put new ones on. Never thought it would cost that much (even though it was at dealer). I change them out myself on my other cars but I was lazy that day. After some bitching they dropped it down to $50. Just passing on the info.

DelliReeus - this is a slow year for me. I will be surprised if I am not at $100k by June of next year.
