This is my short term plan. Keep it minimal for about the first three years. ..............
Quesiton about this^. Should I wait until after the break in period is over to reflash, or does it not really matter? ........

Frankly I would love to see this car hit a MPG of 40-50. It'd be nice to show the world that a car can be fun, and economical. Not sure what exactly would be required to do this, or if something like that is even possible..........


Thanks for reading!
Well, HELLO Akya2120 and WELCOME to our community .......

Good plan on keeping it almost stock for a while after you first get it.

About the tune, I'd suggest you wait till the engine is good and broke in before messing with the tune.

About the only way you're going to get 40-50 MPG with this car is to drive up to Paradise (Mt Rainier - for you out of staters) and coast down to Ashford (measuring mpg in the way down). OR, get in I-5 and drive at 35 mph to Portland ......

Oh, yes, a set of winter tires would be a good thing if you plan on driving year around ....... for the 1" of snow we get twice a year.

Stay tuned for all kinds of good information about your up coming purchase ......
