Thanks all....yeah....good idea. I figure the SC pickup would save at least a week and ensure the PDI is done by someone competent. It also kind of solves another problem i was having....where to buy the car. The price i am getting locally is about 1000 higher than i can get from a dealer 4 hours away....if i pick up at the SC plant that solves that problem as i can just fly out there and enjoy the day and drive home.
I am thinking i may ditch the smartphone integration. It hadn't occurred to me that it would take space away. I probably will drop an ipod in the car and that can live in the center console with the normal cable so i don't really plan to use my iPhone with the car except to answer calls.
I am really waffling on the HUD. I'm reading that its going to be in color starting in march and seems like a good safety feature....but not sure its worth the extra expense. I'm thinking maybe ditch the smartphone integration in favor of the HUD.
I have one other question....if anyone is still reading
What would you say are you major disappointments with the GT. It seems every care i have ever bought had a few that i never realized till i lived with it. Are there any little gotchas that are annoying you? Cupholders driving ya crazy? Seats to hard? AC not cooling as well in the summer? ....stuff like that
