My 1st world problem. Nothing exciting, just high on the lameness scale.
My purchase after ordering and waiting 3.5 months was relatively uneventful, the car is working great, but does have a steep learning curve. Mostly coming from a tame, 100% predictable Volvo. I am still just breaking the car in, going easy and slow, but no lugging, but enough RPM excursions to not be babying it.
After paying the $ people the sales weenie met me at the car. I just wanted to be out of there, but it's his job to teach me - probably not a great learning situation, but I was respectful and listened and kept questions brief. I'll just outline this for easier reading/replying if you wish.
1) General in nature. The guy didn't really cover much relative to the time it took. He insisted in setting up my cell phone in the blue tooth system, and spent a decent while jabbering about it. The reason I mention this is because there are important details they he should have talked about. The few things he did mention, I found out later he was flat wrong.
2) He did not even mention the "Hill Assist" system. The first time I discovered this on the way home, it pretty much freaked me out. Later I read all about it the manual, and all is well. I mean something like this should be mentioned when;
3) He spent a bit of time telling me I should never turn any of the ABS (and related systems - my words) off, but had no explanation as to why. All fine and good, I suppose.
4) He told me the only way to turn the front electric defroster was to crank the climate control knob to a certain position. No, the push button activates it.
5) Not really his fault but they should warn people driving off the lots the tires will be exceedingly SLICK, and I mean treacherously slippery from stupid tire treatment on the contact surface. WOW. Criminally dangerous.
To be continued.........I have more. Need to go.
