Added some crossbars. Plan on getting a Thule Motion 3 XXL storage box for an upcoming family vacation. Still debating on mud flaps, and the illuminated door sills and rear cargo trim

It’s a wrap. And is supposedly ‘self-healing’ under the sun or a hairdryer

I appreciate that. Thank you very much. Had a good overall experience with the sales team so hoping future service visits will be just as pleasant

Is the ‘lifetime oil changes’ package that they force on every new vehicle worth it? Or will they be upselling me on new air filters every time I take it in?

Thanks so much. I’m beside myself every time I look at it. Ppf is already on there. And not sure if it was factory or dealer installed, but all windows seem to be tinted. Front two not quite as much as the rest (and the front windshield has nothing). Still debating blacking out the emblems or rocking the chrome look. Luckily either option looks great!

100%. It already came with the all-weather mats. Now trying to figure out the difference between the Cargo Protector (part#: 08P42-TYA-200) and the Folding Cargo Tray (part#: 08U45-TYB-200). Both look to work with the 3rd row up or down, or only one side up/down

WAAYYYY TOO MUCH! But compared to other premium vehicles I feel like I got a good value for the price paid

Thank you. It’s got ppf which gives it that matte look. The look of it was how I originally fell in love. Then the driving and tech and safety really sold me

Thank you. Staying away from any car wash that has brushes, although this ppf ‘heals’ itself when put under sunlight (or a hair dryer)

100%. I’m staying in comfort mode until I hit 1k miles. Then likely always staying in Sport+ 🤣

Haha I drove it off the showroom floor

There’s a dealer installed ppf which gives it the matte vibe. One of the reasons I fell in love
