congrats!!!

 

Look the car over with a very sharp eye for any imperfetions - take your time and don't be rushed

 

Great Advice thanks.

 

If you've not driven a car with this much tech on it be prepared to get used to driving with an electronic co-pilot. ACC, collision mitigation (along with flashing BRAKE! lights), cross-traffic, lane departure - this is all really cool technology, but if you've never had this much "input" in your driving it may take a little while to get used to it.

Also if the dealer is going to pre-set driver preferences, make sure they use your fob (and not driver 2) as settings are unique. Also double check the settings yourself. I've gone back 3 or 4 times now and tweaked settings (lane departure width for instance).

Oh, and turn off DTS (audio settings).

 

Thanks for that. DTS where is that exactly just in the standard audio settings?

 

No love for DTS?

 

Nope. I've found that 9/10 times it makes the sound very unnatural. Also, if I understand it, DTS can decode 5 channel music, but normal stereo isn't encoded 5 channel, so maybe I don't have any source material that "shines" with DTS.

The setting is Audio Menu > Sound Settings > Scroll to bottom and there sound be the option to enable/disable.

It is personal preference. I wish there was an easier way to enable/disable without digging into menus.
