Nice purchase Fred, you have every right to be excited, did you go all out and get the AWD version or somewhere in between. The 2.4L in one of those turns it into a red light racer. \:\)

Excellent! I gained the ability to plug in an MP3 player when I bought my van last year. Though the van has a 5-disc player that is compatible with MP3s (equaling about 25 albums worth of music), it really IS more convenient to just plug the MP3 player into the dash.

I think you might like some of the other stuff attached to that port, too! \:\)

Thanks guys.

Jay, I got the most basic model. I even have to roll down the windows manually now. I'm not really a big car guy, so it would take a lot for me to get really exited about the car (like a Ferrari). This is just basic transportation with an MP3 player attached. The main reasons I bought were that my 13 year old Escort is quite a bit more rusted out than I realized and I figure the cheap financing and deals will go away if I wait another year or two.

The seats are really comfy though... and if anything goes wrong with them I can go out in the plant and kick somebody's ass!

The really funny thing is that they have a 6 CD changer built into the dash as well. I guess there are enough people out there that still don't do MP3 or similar.

Eric. I'm really curious to see what sort of 'sub' they have built into the system. I suspect it will contain a whopping big 5" driver. As long as it plays clean.
