I just did it at the dealer - car was in there for a couple other things so I had them do it as well. It was 199 + 229 for the labor (cape cod). I probably could have done it myself I’m sure but splurged so it’s warrantied.

Highlanders, Pilots, Sorrentos, MDXs all have no soul and are a total skip.

Mine is gray so it is less noticeable but I agree. The less chrome the better

So I tend to agree with all of these except the power adapter issue. Get a magnet charger that is always plugged in and the cord wont ever be on the floor. Thats my solution. My biggest gripe is the MMI system is pretty basic in terms of UI. That said , if test drive the car all of this is...

My kid dumped some apple juice and gold fish on the the trim in the backseat. Hoping that helps

The only issue I have is with the rear wiper motor coming out on me. Drove 1200 miles over Xmas and she was rock solid.

I have 50K on mine. Been rock solid.

Just get a used one cheap on eBay. You will still need the dealer to program it. Not sure it can be done via vagxom

I have 45k miles on mine and I drove to Florida and back from Maryland over the Christmas holiday - 2200 miles in all. I averaged 19.6 MPG with 3 passengers, a packed roof box and a half filled cargo area. Thats pretty solid if you ask me; the roof box decreases mileage so all in all pretty good.

Congrats on your purchase. They are great cars. Ive already put 50k miles on my 16. That said, You will never come close to 28 mpg in that car. 25 is the max I have ever seen on a tank and that was all highway, no cargo babying it at 71 miles an hour.

Yeah - tinting the windows and the windshield will significantly decrease heat soak and cool off time. It certainly did for me.

In those pictures the A/C isn’t actually on. Just the fan. So it’s blowing air from the outside. Press the AC button - the orange light will come on.

Yeah oem crossbars + Thule is the move. I have the sonic.
