Default Re: Getting new TCH Monday. (finally)

Updated today. 5-10-2007

Put on over 100 miles maybe 80 on 295/95 and other highways. First mileage on 95 since picking it up. Started off at 33.8 mpg and ended up 37.0 avg. Have over 300 miles on it and still a bit more then half a tank left.
Differences noted compared to old car: Rides and handles better. No noticeable loss of quickness on highway. Plenty of power to accelerate, with CC and pass cars. Did hit and hold 74 for about 2 miles, probably held it around 65 to 68 most of the time on 295. One noted fact that was told to me and did notice and was not like old car. It leans a bit on curves. Definitely slower on pickup then old v6 235(?) hp old car, after take off as good as old one. Still getting familiar with it and have only read about 10 pages on the manual. Winging it and learning enough.
Am very satisfied. Picked it up Monday at dealers.
