Replying to: jeffmc (Jul 18, 2006 8:47 am) 1C consists of (Aspen White)splash guards, cargo tray, and rear bumper cover. I love the internet. I requested quotes via Edmunds.com. I did most of the negotiations by email. When I visited the dealer, I spent about an hour at dealer#1. He wouldn't reduce even a couple of hundred bucks. He says .. "take it or leave it". Then, I called the dealer#2 to find out if he could give me a better deal. I gave my word that, if he is willing to sell the car at my asking price, I will buy the car on the very sameday. He agreed and I bought my forester. I love the car. I still have to get used to the manual tranny. Couple of times I shifted from 2nd to 1st(instead of 3rd) and over-revved the engine  . I hope that didn't damage anything inside the car. While driving in streets with lots of stop-lights and traffic, it is a pain to drive a car with Manual-tranny. I think(and hope), this pain will disappear once I master the art of shifting... I still stall the car every now and then..  otherwise, it is indeed fun to drive the car with MT. No Lag whatsoever.

Mine was too tight and it took me a while to realize that's why I was stalling the car; like trying to start out with the parking brake engaged. It was a one-hour free repair at the dealer.

Replying to: leo2633 (Jul 19, 2006 5:15 am) I enjoy shifting the gears... getting better at it everyday. Every now and then, I over-rev the engine. My previous car was black in color(accord). I feel the difference already. My white-car does feel cooler. |

Replying to: dirtbag (Jul 19, 2006 5:26 am) Anyway, I am going to try out the hill-holder function this weekend to sense whether it is the culprit. If it indeed is the reason, I will take it to the dealer for the adjustement you mentioned. thanks. |
