I learned last night that if you're listening to an MP3 cd with a whole lotta song and if you wanna use the RAND feature and want to skip a song for the next random song without it going to the actual next song, just push RAND twice.

I've also learned to keep the RPMs around the ballpark of 3000rpm to get the best response (I used to shift to 5th as soon as possible, but with 4-cyl engines I learned otherwise).

My previous vehicle was a lifted 3600(+)# Jeep Cherokee, So to me, This car is extremely light. And I have to drive it in the snow with crappy OE All-Season tires. That thing is DANGEROUS in the snow!

I agree it's geared a little low. But, where I'm from, the roads are usually bad and usually don't allow really high speeds. (I've only hit 125mph once) I'm kinda happy with the low gearing..

Things I didn't know? Hmm.. How about EVERYTHING... I did little to no research, and knew absolutely nothing about this car before I test drove it. All I knew was I was ...drawn.. to it. (Almost spiritually.. is that weird?) That, and I knew I was spending $45 in gas every 3 days in my Jeep...[/i]
