Update:

Currently at 200 miles. Car feels great. Kind of hesitant to take corners hard after my accidental drift scenario. Definitely can't wait to learn the car better at an autox. Get plenty of looks on the road and a coworker stopped me in the parking lot to check out the car. Coworker drives and Audi S4.

Some key observations:
-You will be shifting a lot. I'm in 4th or 5th gear just doing speed limit of 35 mph. However, the shifter is so crisp and short and precise that I enjoy shifitng
-Torque dip in 3-4 is definitely noticeable. this is especially prominent when in 6th gear on highway. 3-4 K in rpm is roughly 70-90 mph. Downshift will probably be required to fix but not a big deal. Haven't tested it out yet due to break in.
-Satellite radio awesome. I feel like I've been living in the stone ages before this car.
-Rear view mirror and rear defroster works quickly. I woke up to fogged up windows and turned it on. Mirrors were probably clear in a couple minutes.
-Currently still playing around with my seat position in the car to find my optimal spot. Also trying to figure out how messaging works with the bluetooth connectivity and iPhone.

More to come soon...
