Dagwood55: I’d also note that a rental shop that has problems with stale fuel in its equipment is a rental shop that has a big problem. Think about that.

Thats not the point here. I was just calling you out for being pompass and assuming the guy at the rental shop is a lousy source of information. I find in my travels that there are many very intellegent people without a college degree who know exactly what they are doing and how things work.

Do you have a link for that? (sorry super busy today, not time for surfing).I ask because I thought the heated seats were going to be standard as GM determined they more efficiently delivered heat to the passengers, thus retaining AER.  

I remember the discussion of preferred heated seats over ambient heating. I don’t know how it turned out though.

Sometimes the way to deal with a lot of bad news is to ‘yank the band aid off quickly.’

1) Premium Gas Required

2) High purchase price designed to favor leasing – ?

3) CS-mode mpg is – ??

4) – ???

Hope I’m wrong.

DonC:
I’m overly risk averse — under leveraged by all standards — but for me it’s just numbers. The last time we bought a car the lease option wasn’t that great but they were offering three year 0 percent financing and 5 year 3% financing. Just based on the existing money market rates, you were $4500 ahead if you took the 0 percent financing deal rather than paying cash. IOW if you took the purchase price of the car and put it into a money market and wrote checks on the account every month, at the end of three years you’d have (roughly) $4500 in the money market.
If you don’t have the discipline — some people will just spend whatever they have — then it makes sense to always pay cash. But if that’s not the case then it’s just numbers. Leverage can be your friend, albeit on a small scale.  

We too, are very risk averse. Although we have a top shelf credit score(s), we keep debt to a minimum. Frankly, with me, health issues play a role on both sides of the scale, which makes the whole thing very complicated. Enough of that, almost at T -30…..

Michael: ClarksonCote: 1) Are heated seats not standard? There’s buttons for them on the center console. If they list stuff like assist grips, you’d think they would list heated seats. Heated seats are an option as part of Premium Trim Package, along with the leather trim, etc.
