vschmidt Report post Posted September 13, 2009 Having never purchased a new car before, I noticed some interesting items, and wanted to start a list of things people wished others had mentioned to them about having a new car, or a FFH/MMH specifically. Here's my list of observations so far. I've had my MMH since Wed 9/9/09: The seats and surfaces (door panels, etc.) are very plush.MMH is very, very quiet.ICE power is nearly instantaneous when it comes on, and is pretty quiet.MMH has lots and lots of gadgets. No amount of manual-reading is enough preparation!The cupholders will hold large (supersized) cups easily. Finally: for those who like and appreciate the "new car smell," DON'T take a new vehicle to Ziebart right away, or you'll be smelling Ziebart instead!

Were you happy with the quality of work done at Ziebart? What work did you get gone? Last but not least, if you don't mind, can you post the cost of whatever work you had done there? I am expecting delivery in a week or two and trying to figure out where I want to get my windows tinted and any other things I want done. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Last but not least, if you don't mind, can you post the cost of whatever work you had done there? I am expecting delivery in a week or two and trying to figure out where I want to get my windows tinted and any other things I want done. So far I am very happy with the work. I got an advertised special including:"Super Rust Protection with Undercoat"Underbody Sound BarrierDiamond Gloss Paint Protection ("You'll never need to wax your car again!")Ultra Fabric / Leather Protection with Cleaning Total: $1189, special for $799 includes 12 car washes, $699 without the car washes.10% discount for AAA members. From the polling I have done, rustproofing seems to be a religious argument, coupled heavily with vehicle location, weather, driving habits, and intent of owner to keep the vehicle (or sell) within the warranty period. Sorry for the delay. Long nights this week. Any news? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry for the delay. Long nights this week. Any news? Thanks. Did the sound barrier make a difference? Is the paint protection a film like clearbra or just a synthetic type wax? As for news... nothing yet. Dealer told me last week they thought the car would arrive this week but FCC told me last Fri that it wasnt scheduled to ship until the 21st.

rfruth Report post Posted September 16, 2009 Those 17" 15-spoke painted aluminum wheels look good (IMO) but they sure get dirty fast - I need to wash mine (DIY) after only a few hundred miles, is stuff like Zoop Seal any good for helping to keep them clean ?
