I Pulled The Trigger... Where Do I Begin?

Absolutely gorgeous!! Make your neighbors jealous as they ask, "What car is that?"

 

Get the silver rear bumper protector. It will look good with that color.

 

Too bad that the average speed limit in EU, and "advised" speed in Germany is exactly 81mph and going slower means blocking traffic, because not only people going slower, are going much slower, but those who go faster, want to - so they are going maybe 85/90 (and they are allowed to in Germany!) and when you try to keep the speed limit, there is always somebody on the right lane, and I am not talking trucks, that always goes slower than 80mph. So you need to continuously change lanes. Having 2-3 lane max highways, with no change to over take on the right like in the USA, that makes it difficult to drive really smoothly and constant speed on a EU highway...
Plus most of the them are mostly highly trafficked most of the time...unless you drive at night.

 

You have to "constantly change lanes", to avoid getting stuck behind someone going maybe 70~80 mph?

 

Yep. All those bloody beeps but no beep love from BSM. Wonder when the "hacks" come out for this vehicle. You know, the little reprogramming here and there from the factory setup. So far only the Carista can make minor changes.

LG-H901 ?

 

congrats! would you mind sharing some numbers and which dealer? thanks

 

Wife's previous ride Mazda CX5 flashed and beeped when turn signal was activated when BSM was in warning mode.

I already mentioned this in a survey Toyota sent us a few days ago. It was headed something like , now you've had the new car for 30 days tell us what you think etc..

LG-H901 ?

 

Could you send it as private message pls. Planning to go tonight or tomorrow. Thanks

 

Much easier than the last attempts on other vehicles. .You bought the cats meow.Like beer, luke cool and not cold. Pleasant to drink with now nastiness at cellar temperature.

 

yep - and this happens not only in Germany - also in Italy where the speed limit is 81mph. There are still those in the middle lane (or rarely right lane, considered by most the "losers lane", used mostly by trucks, that go at 70 or less. In Italy and Germany and I'd say in the EU, it is required to keep right on highways if the rightmost lane is free and no overtaking is necessary. Less and less people are doing that and like to stay in the "middle" or even in the left lane, well below the limit, or in Germany, at the "advised" speed limit of 81mph, when the right lane is empty and there is no speed limit (essentially provoking traffic jams really quickly as more and more drivers driving at 80+ - as it is their right to do so - ge

 

I downloaded the 800 page owners manual and am going through it. There is also a Quick Start Guide you could download as well. I'm doing my homework before I buy my first Hybrid.
