All the gadgets are fun, although a challenge to learn all the details. If you are not the primary driver, or if you have a different nav system with different features, the system is requires some learning. I did find out one down point about the nav system today (although probably safer) - you have to be parked to type in a location or specific point of interest. My Acura allows you to use all features of the nav system on the go. Ok - maybe I'm be a little picky. There are soooo many other things to love about it!

I finally got to take this wonderful beast to work - yes - I got to to take her out all by myself. I work in a school district and my superintendent loves cars. He used to have a Roadrunner. I took him for a casual spin and he loved it. All my principals wanted to take a spin too. It seemed like troopers were everywhere and we weren't even on the highway. My principal of grades kindergarten and 1st grade LOVED it. She said it reminded her of growing up. When I dropped her off she said she had to look at the tail lights and then she walked to the front to look at the grill. She was very impressed and it made me smile at the little things she noted as exceptional on the SRT. My middle school principal was dying to take it for a spin himself, but I said no way - but I could take him for a quick trip into the country. He said it reminded him of a Cuda. He said that 3rd gear was still the sweet spot. When I pulled back up to the middle school - the junior high kids were in awe. My principal looked around once more inside the car and in the back seat and said that the car brought back memories.... hmmmm. He said the car was bad to the bone and even more so with a chic driving it. I told my husband about the comment and he laughed. Everyone LOVED the cars which is always fun. Kids at the high school couldn't believe it was the curriculum director who was driving it.
