#6 of 7 Thank you!!! by jessicaak

Ha ha you made me laugh with your sign off...our Rondos are twins, I too have the volcanic red with that exact interior!!! I figured it'll get dingy, the dealer says that the "protection" stuff they are putting on it will really help...hmmm we'll see about that, my life can put any interior to the test, floral business, two big dogs and kiddos!!! Come to think of it is burlap an option?!?!?! Or maybe blue tarp?
 
But seriously thanks a million for all the positive feedback...I feel so much better....and driving around in my zippy new car sure helps too! Though it feels odd to call it a "car" they are SOOO roomy inside, and we have had a blazer and a suburban so I do not use that word lightly
 
I did absolutely get the car I wanted, perfect for camping and my floral business without being a dreaded mini-van, no offense to the mini owners, but hey I am 25, it's gotta have a bit of the cool factor! I'm not sure if we have deluxe cloth or regular, probably standard, we have the LX model, I did like the options of the EX, but out of our price/finance range and they didn't have any at the time, ah well. As far as being in AK, yes there is MUCH limited options, which is odd, I mean we're more urban than my husbands family in PA, but there is this perception that we are in the middle of nowhere...and they know it..I think next time we'll road trip it down south! Or maybe Canada...been too long since we took that beautiful drive.
 
Also, I know this isn't the spec 5 thread, but since you said you were considering it for your daughter thought I'd mention that my hubby is LOVING his, just filled it up at 500 miles(he commutes about 100 miles roundtrip everyday) about 35mpg right out of the gate...after 15mpg on our Blazer we were wondering is the gas gage was maybe broken
 
On another side note, on the "clicker" auto lock thing on the keys, the button for the rear hatch, I thought mine was broken, then they said it just wasn't programmed, now they say that it just unlocks the back hatch, doesn't actually open it...which seemed a little odd to me since my owners manual says it opens it. What does this "mystery button" do for everyone else?
 
Thanks again...great resource...more info from owners than ANY other resource out there...including the manual!!!
