Initial impressions:

1) The paint is very good on this car.
2) The Aisin's 6 speed shifting is a bit notchy, especially goinig into 4th and reverse, but it should get better as it loosens up with use and I get used to it more.
3) I didn't know there was a "R" indication in the DIC when put into reverse accompanied by a beep. Does the SS with the Tremec T56 do this also? Again the Aisin is a bit tricky to get into reverse...you really have to man-handle it over against the tension spring to get it past the 1-2 gate and up into R...
4) BA sound system is solid
5) No fan noise that I had noticed on the previous 2 Avis rentals...yet.
6) Dealership really goes out of their way these days to clearly state that warranty is manufacturer's defects only...still bumper to bumper, but sounds like another layer of the onion to get approval on any perceived "abuse" repairs.
