questions."

On tires, I replaced the original Fulda's with Michelin's. I have been very
satisfied. The back-up light switch is mounted on the transmission and it is
impossible to get at! at least for me. Have the dealer fix it before you
take delivery. Third, I live in Texas and have recharged the A/C system
twice. Both time there was a slow leak out the melt plug on the
receiver/dryer. That car was not designed for A/C. It was kind of an
afterthought and with that little condenser it runs high head pressures. The
blower makes so much noise you think the system is working but it is pretty
marginal. I would have the A/C checked to make sure it is just low on
refrigerant because A/C repair is expensive.
