Well I've arrived in Arizona on the first leg of my trip. Today I'm at my local dealer for a first oil change just to be sure nothing was present in the engine that got missed. In manufacture. Later today I head to LA for the weekend, then back to AZ.

I encountered one small problem on my trip... The DIF. Cooler developed a slow leak on one of the fittings. I topped off the dif at one dealer in lake Charles, LA., and drove to Capitol Chevrolet in Austin for the repair, and a wash. The got me going in a couple of hours and were just great!

I love this car! It is such an improvement over my others I don't know where to start in sharing my experience.

The biggest problem will be keeping my speed down on public roads, I will have to track this car regularly to get my Ya-Yas on.

I read some where on the forum one buyer drove home 600 miles from his dealer on ECO mode! My suggestion is DON'T do this!
My car will only be run in Eco if I'm sure I don't have gas to get to the next fuel.
