Hi everyone!

I posted this in the big sedan thread first, then I saw this thread. oops

I bought this for my daughter yesterday. It's a Magnetic Pearl '07 Hybrid with Navi. Put a hundred miles on it today just for fun (my daughter is away until tomorrow

)

First impressions:

I love the car. Navigation works better than my old car (2004 AMG E55, sold this year). Voice implementation is sweet, although we had some fun and games on the freeway trying to guess how to make the system do stuff (I didn't read the manual lol). "ready weapons" doesn't work... Tried out everything on the stereo and it all worked. Used an old pc card adapter and stuck a 2 gig CF card in it, burned a MP3 CD, used an accessory cable to go from the acc. plug to the ipod and it all worked as expected. I read a few bad reviews on the ipod kit so I'll pass on it. Decided to not add the auto mirror, as I stuck a wide angle on the stock mirror. That left the fog lights I wanted installed. Dealer wanted $800...$620 is the cheapest I found on the net, plus the sedan kit isn't as clean looking as the si kit, so I changed my mind...no aftermarket OEM accessories.

The only thing left is the wheels. The stock hybrid rims (and I apologize if anyone likes them) are butt ugly to me. It's like they took a hunk of aluminum and said "hey let's make a set of rims that look like hubcaps"

I'm considering rims and summer tires for the car (yes, it's my daughter's car lol), but i'm still doing homework on it as I'm a bit concerned about possible weight issues.

Well, that's my introduction & here's the pictures of the car.
