Thoughts on Old vs. New

It’s funny the stupid little things you miss on a new car…

  1. I lost my flip down sunglasses holder (that was one of my all-time favorite things about my old car). I can put them in the center console (which I didn’t have before) but its going to take some getting used to.
  2. The sippy cups we have don’t fit in the 2nd row side cup holders.
  3. There isn’t a decimal on the digital odometer (but it’s on the trip odometer). Strangely, no other gauges on the panel are digital.
  4. The turn signal is super loud and annoying.
  5. The rear window wiper control isn’t with the other wipers—it’s on the center panel.
  6. The remote lock and unlock noises are different from my old car so I can never tell if I did it right.
  7. I miss the extendable visor blinds.

But on the flip side:

  1. The ride is SOOOO quiet.
  2. And smooth.
  3. I like the integrated Bluetooth.
  4. I love that I can play mp3 CDs—or use a thumb drive! Or just plug my phone in to AUX.
  5. I have volume controls on the steering wheel.
  6. There are retractable shades on the moonroof as well as the glass openings above the second row.
  7. I still have a moonroof!
  8. I have a regular power outlet somewhere (I think in the cargo area).
  9. I love the backup camera that appears in the rear view mirror.
