So, we've had our TCH for a week and I thought I'd share my thoughts, feelings and opinions. We now have 285 miles on the odometer and a tank average of 34mpg. I find this car a joy to drive, and I actually feel much more relaxed on my commute to work than I did in my Corolla. I think concentrating on my FE instead of "getting there" is largely responsible for my more relaxed driving attitude. I know my FE isn't up to the heights that some of you all have achieved yet, but I am confident it will be with time. This is the first tank after all.

In terms of trunk space, I have some photos to share of our shopping adventure this weekend (have to upload them off the camera later). We went to BJ's and the grocery store and had plenty of room for all of our super-sized BJ's purchases, the groceries and our son's umbrella stroller, with room to spare. True, we won't be carting a sofa in there, but the space is perfectly adequate for most everyday needs IMO.

I have heard no squeaks, or other annoying noises inside the car the few times I have not been listening to the stereo. I am enjoying the stereo immensely. My first car had only AM radio, and my Corolla only had AM/FM/Casette, so this is a serious upgrade for me. At this point I don't even miss my XM. Maybe for Christmas we will have it installed in the TCH, but with two good NPR stations (for news) within range and a large collection of CD's it's not really that necessary I suppose...

I am thrilled with the leg room in the front and the rear. I don't even have to put my seat all the way back and I still have ample space (and I'm 5'9" and have long legs). My husband does wish the TCH had seat memory, because when he drives he has to adjust it a little. I find the seats are very comfortable over all. The fabric has a nice feel.

So, that's my little review after a week. I'm sure there's more I could say, but I've already blabbered on enough.
