1) can anyone confirm if the firm will be using a synthetic oil or not? I think the sales rep told me that they use Shell but could not say if it is semi synthetic or full synthetic.
2) when the car went in for the first 1000kms service, I ask for the rer brakes/handbrakes be adjusted but it came back the same way. I literally have to pull hte hand brakes right up. Is this normal or is it that they just did not adjust it?
I must say however, this car runs great on the road. The 6 speed transmission really is tempting on the h/way.

However they are telling me that the 2.0 may not come with a sunroof and WILL NOT be coming manual. They are saying no manual vehicles will be brought in, even special order.
:-/ If anyone owns the 2.0 A/T how does it feel and would you prefer a manual? I'm going for a test drive of the 1.6 this week.

Sounds pretty decent.

I would advise you to re-schedule and wait till you reach closer to 40,000kms. Even though they recommend 6 months thats based on average driving.
I also service a pickup at diamond motors and they also recomend 6 months/10000kms but i usually take 8-10 months to reach that mileage.
Stick with the mileage and get vlaue for your dollar.

You guys are lucky -I hear what you are saying about value for $ but it is recom that oil should be changed at the mileage or at least every 6 mths - I would go with the change now.
The oil still breaks down
