Well, the 'delivery experience' for my survey won't be a high rating. I showed up, as scheduled and communicated by the advisor, at noon. He informed us that the car was in service because of a seatbelt warning, and that they couldn't let it go because it was a safety issue. Estimated time to fix would be 1.5hrs + a software update. 4 hours later, they were still 'working' and I got a loaner to take home (did I mention that we live 3 hours away and I took a day off work for this!?). They're planning to do a home delivery and swap for the loaner. I'm bummed about it, as I'd like to put the first miles on the car, but it's tough to take another 6 hours out of a day with two kids around.
The car has been there since Sunday, and I guess immediately prior to delivery they decided it was time to prep the thing. They hadn't even gone down the delivery checklist yet.
The upside is the loaner was an S 100D. What an absurdly fast car. With plenty of 'hammer it' takeoffs and passes, I still averaged close to rated wh/mile for the 3hr trip home. That gives me some confidence in my range choice.
