You can see where they cut corners for cost, cup holders and console, etc, but above all, car drives like a race car.
Its a standard Subaru cruise control. Press down on the stalk (sp?) to lower speed, lift to accelerate, pull towards you to cancel but not turn it off.

see!!! every time i set the cruise control and try to get it to lower the speed in small increments it doesn't work! tried it again today and it didn't do it. Also, i've noticed that the engine takes forever to get to "optimal" temp and never idles lower than.5 rpms. Is this normal??

The new customer package is pretty nice.. Its $350 for a full professional detail, inside and out and the opticoat.

Its a possibility that its either malfunctioning, or you're doing it wrong :p I can make mine lower speed by 1mph increments if I want.

Just picked mine up on Tuesday from Cavender. Getting leather installed by them sometime in the next week or so.

Toyota of Boerne gets leather done in all the cars also. I got mine at cavender but I honestly didn't want the leather since its just too hot to have it here in texas. It looks nice as hell though. I bet you will like it.

And one other thing. The front license plate scratched the crap out of my car so you might want to check it out since Cavender drilled into the black front grill but it leans against the fender well the screws were digging into the front of my car paint. Lame.

Just got the call, they're going to install the leather Tuesday. I gotta get the windows tinted. I don't have covered parking at work, it is crazy hot - I can't imagine how it's going ot be with the leather.

Oh man, I am going to check my bumper when I get home. That is massively lame . Jordan Ford did the same thing to my fiance's Mustang on her front plate.

"Confidence is Cavender, Confidence is Cavender, Confidence is Cavender, Toyoootaaaa." I literally never realized how much that commercial played until I picked my Raven up from them back in June.
