Roy has Arrived!

[kulfyur]

You would have really liked to have lived where I did for 8 years, never got into the anime although it was every where you went. Guess Roy will be burning up the roads hai douzo!

Without out a doubt! I plan on at least making a few trips out there, and if I ever get around to learning the language, I'd possibly consider moving there.

So my review.

Awesome, awesome, awesome, and more awesome. I'm so happy with this car.

Maybe it's just me but it feels SUPER torquey. It's power took some getting use to. If you don't watch it, the car can get away from you. I love it. If I'm at a stop light with anyone in front of me, 1st gear is out unless I want to ride the clutch. The car just takes off so much that even starting in 2nd will quickly put me on the tail of the car in front of me. The versatility of the drivetrain is amazing, too! (Acting like I know what I'm talking about) I can really open up my spirits and fly like a bat out of hell, or I can be really cool and just cruise chilling in even gears (2-4-6) with a ridiculously smooth ride. My gf challenged me to eliminate the passenger head-bang when shifting and it was soooooooo easy just to skip the gears and slow down shifting for a ride that was practically as smooth as an A/T.

At a little over 300 miles, the exhaust has opened up really nicely. But I guess it could be the cold weather. I'm honestly not sure yet. When I first picked it up I hated the sound of it cause it just sounded strangled to death like a Sonata or something. But now when I start him up for work in the morning I can hear him roar! The exhaust sounds MUCH better now and I may even keep it stock now. (Yea, I said it!)

As for the suspension, I push it on a bumpy downhill entrance ramp at 60+ mph the tail didn't even consider floating. The '13 v6 would make me cautious of spinning out every time. It's not as soft as the v6 '13 I had, but I like that. It's hard to explain this part: the car is much firmer than my previous mustang(s) but yet it just seems to ride soooo much smoother. Going 90 on the interstate this morning I began feeling the bumps bouncing the car a bit (much more than in the v6 '13) but that wasn't annoying nor did it cause any waver in my confidence in driving it. I just felt "right". Do you guys follow what I mean? I really don't know how to explain that part. Someone back me up...

Comfort & Convenience = 8/10. At 5'7" 130 lbs, I'm already small of stature. Additionally, I like for my things to be tailored to me. With that being said, whatever your size, this car can be built to fit! There have been a lot of larger guys on here vouching for how spacious that car can be. Well, personally, I didn't buy a Dodge Magnum. I want a ride like this to be snug. I want to be able to see and predict the placement of every inch of this car (give or take a bit of learning the car). And I want all of that while still being comfortably positioned to control the car at peak performance. Well last night I took some time to adjust some things, and I can say, this car can even fit a midget perfectly with little more than peddle extensions... My ride is as tight and enjoyable as virgin va-jj. Again I love it. However I had to take away two stars for some minor nuisances.
1. The audio system does not have a setting to exclusively adjust the subwoofer. I knew that before I bought the car and can live with it, but I still don't like it.
2. As I've posted HERE the fog lights work in a pretty stupid way to me.
3. The steering wheel SUCKS! I honestly didn't expect to say that... ever. I'm not picky at all on such a thing but it is REALLY REALLY BAD. I love the size of it and the buttons on it, but it's just retarded baby hand thin. It's also pretty hard. The leather on it is not any where near as plush as the '13 i had. It was actually bad enough that last night I went to O'Reilly's and bought a steering wheel cover just to thicken and soften up the wheel. I put it on in the parking lot and even after seeing it was obviously too big said, "Fuck it. I'm not waiting to order one!" and left.
4. They took the halo on my gauges; I want that back.

Complements, heads turning, people stopping are even more common then they were with the '13/'14. They may die down when the car becomes more common, but I'll still enjoy it for the next year at least!

:eyebulge: Drop some words out of your review (No re arranging just dropping words, this subliminal message pops out ) They have a section in every store in Japan for this kind of Anime. Glad you liked it, I had the same reaction minus the halo and wheel gripes. Your car is a lot stiffer than the V6, it is built for the track, that's why it feels a little bumpier, but more controllable. As race cars go, it is pretty darn confortable.

Roy had his first bath yesterday. Took off of early to give him the attention he needed.

Started by giving him a really good rinsing... It's tough to keep his from drying in the Alabama sun lol...

After doing some research as to why people do and don't, I started at the wheels. I did so to minimize over spray. Each wheel had it's own microfiber cloth that was only put in the bucket once and used once... then it was tossed away from all other rags. After I washed the entire car. I returned to each wheel with a microfiber wheel brush to do a more thorough cleaning.

Dried both he and his feet off.

Put a coat of Turtle Wax Ice Spray Wax on him.

Finally I shined the wheels. Had to come back again later to wipe off all the run off.

When it's all said and done:

(God I love that metallic!!!)

If You're interested in the items I used:
Turtle Wax Ice Premium Car Care Car Wash
Turtle Wax Ice Premium Car Car Spray Wax
Meguiar's Hot Shine Foam.

No I did not clay bar this time. The materials I ordered to do so hadn't come in at that time and I wasn't going to wait any longer to clean it. I did the bag check though and determined it will be ok to go ahead and wax. I'll be switching to Optimum No-Rinse wash from here. (Unless there is reason not to? Please tell me if any one has any bad news/reviews before I use it.) I'll be clay baring next time.
