Thought I would share my delivery update. Overall, delivery was pretty smooth. SA let me look at the outside before payment. It was a rainy day and I didn't notice any glaring issues, so I was happy to accept and take a closer look later. I had a hiccup where the manual payment method I added in the wallet wasn't showing up for final payment. Also had trouble with Plaid. Luckily the SA was able to text me a payment link which worked just fine. Everything else went smooth and I drove away maybe 30 minutes after showing up. SA was great the whole time.
First impression driving: amazing! It is a little bit louder at highway speeds than I was expecting but is still much quieter than my 2004-era vehicles. The coolest tech on my 04 Honda accord was the bluetooth adapter I added one year. So this is a huge upgrade for me. Very smooth ride too.
I took a much closer look later and ran through the full polymorphic checklist. One small paint ding. One loose bolt under the rear bumper. One missing plastic trim nut in the wheel well. A little condensation in one of the taillights. The biggest issue I noticed is that the rear trunk door seems misaligned a bit. The glass at the upper edge of the trunk doesn't line up with the roof glass, and the spacing between the trunk door and each taillight is noticeably uneven. I have a service appt scheduled for all of the above so hopefully they can fix it easily. And they are going to add PPF and mudflaps for me.
Really happy with the car. I thought about switching to white before VIN assignment because I was worried about getting it before March, but now I am really glad I didn't. The blue is stunning in person!
Wishing you all speedy and smooth deliveries.
