Replying to: kacker (May 10, 2005 10:30 am) Hi Rajan,   How did you get this car 10k under sticker. I drove (and loved it) 3 QP's today and will probably end up buying one this week. Have you gotten used to the Auto shifting as yet? It seemed a little jerky to me. I am thinking of getting the one with the sports pacakge but am worried about stiffness resulting in loss of comfort. Your thoughts...   Anyone using the phone (stock) or one with the blue tooth (after market) set up.   Thanks Replies to this message: jerryposner (Jun 21, 2005 2:56 pm)

Replying to: akurana (Jun 13, 2005 11:12 pm) For what it's worth, our local dealer didn't recommend the sports package, didn't think it was worth the tradeoff. The 19" wheels do seem to be a bit of an improvement and comfort seems fine with excellent handling.   The instructions concerning the phone show a convoluted setup, not at all as simple and direct as, say, a Mercedes S500 (one of the only good things about the car). Verizon doesnt want to touch the car to put in a Motorola bluetooth car kit, nor do I want them to, nor does the dealer recommend something hard wired which can cause screwed up signals to the 21 electronic control modules in the car which monitor things like electric current draw. I am about to try the Motorola Bluetooth phone with the separate wireless Bluetooth speaker; waiting for the speaker to come in. It would seem to be easily placed with velcro on any portion of the headliner or sun visor, and the velcro sticks directly without gluing backing piece. Will let you know if it works.   The Auto shifting takes some getting used to but it is good to have the auto mode in bumper to bumper traffic, where you can't have any fun in the manual mode.
#53 of 166 I'm Pissed by akurana Jun 23, 2005 (7:13 am)
I picked up a 05 QP with 4000 miles for 107,500 in Santa Barbara on Friday. It's a great ride but the car is with the dealer since yesterday. It refused to go into reverse, I got 15 or so errors. I'm pissed. Has anyone else had this problem?

#56 of 166 Overheating by jerryposner Jul 14, 2005 (3:45 pm)
Anyone have this problem? Gauge has gotten hotter intermittently, then today in traffic, got warning beeps and an engine coolant overheating message. Running the heater got it down, but it has to go in for service.

Replying to: akurana (Jun 23, 2005 7:13 am) i had that on mine, but it seemed to correct itself on the other hand, i'm now on my third clutch ( after 7,000 miles ) and have just had a full new set of tyres .....and the phone has never been usable wonderful car all the same, though !

Replying to: jerryposner (May 02, 2005 12:00 pm) Just wanted to see if anyone (including Jerry) has had any problems with the Q's battery. I have an '05 with 700 miles...love it but the other day when I went to start it...it didn't. I had to have it towed with the engine running. It's at the dealer now and they think the battery is fine. Has anyone had a similar problem? Replies to this message: jerryposner (Aug 02, 2005 4:09 pm) izeldis (Aug 02, 2005 7:47 pm)

Replying to: izeldis (Aug 01, 2005 8:16 pm) Got the car as a demo with 4,000 miles on it. The first week, the car was dead. Towed on flatbed to the dealership, they checked it out, couldn't find anything that drained the battery (and they had the car for a few months when new and it had no problem)(and, by the way, with the battery dead, we couldnt figure out how to get into the locked trunk), but we have had no problem whatsoever since.   As to the overheating, there was a loose connection from one of the two fans. No problem since fix.   Have 7,700 miles on it now, no clutch problem or tire problem. We were told to expect to normally get 12-15,000 miles tops from the wide Z tires.

Replying to: gearchanger (Jul 25, 2005 4:08 pm) Adding to my last message, I did try the Motorola Bluetooth phone from Verizon with the separate wireless Bluetooth speaker which we placed easily with velcro on the headliner between the sun visor and windshield. Works very well, and looks a lot easier (and a couple thousand cheaper) than the OEM optional phone.
