Just picked up black/black 2014 Signature with 44K miles for $32K, which is unreal. I drove my 2006 Acura RL into the ground, so I'm totally stoked about my new ride. I had a couple things to mention to see if anyone else had any input on. Feel free to throw into your two cents...
1. The previous owner left the Blizzaks on the back. He's dropping off the other tires to be changed on Monday, which sucks because I have to take a 250 mile trip tomorrow. I guess it sort of makes sense to only put them on the back of a RWD car, but no one recommends it because they want to sell 4 tires instead of 2, but why take a chance?
2. Speaking of tires, is everyone just replacing them with the OEM Continentals for the most part? I know with my Acura, the owners group board I'd always go on turned me on to Toyo Versado's, which were way better and cheaper than the OEM's, but they don't make them big enough for the Equus.
3. Can't roll the windows down with the key fob? That's pretty brutal. I sent the place that make the module for Vettes that plugs into the ODB, but I'm not getting my hopes up....
4. I think the factory rims are freaking gorgeous....
5. I tried to sign up for Blue Link, but it said I had to go to the dealer to finish. I can't believe there's no android app, but remote start from my pc at home and work is still going to be nice...
6. I hope my senile brain remembers it has a heated steering wheel when it gets cold out...
7. I wish the cooled/heated seats would stay at the same setting it was on when you turned the car off. That would be one of the points of remote start...
8. I like Sport mode on the expressways, and Normal otherwise...
9. I surprisingly made it 3 days before the idea of how great having sex in the back seat in "relax" mode would be. I better up my testosterone dosage...
10. I was actually worried I had forgotten how to read an analog clock, but it came back pretty fast...
11. I need to try it again tonight, but I don't think the Adaptive Front Lights are working. It should be easy to tell by turning the wheel in the garage, right?
12. I like that the front bumper is high enough to clear parking blocks, I'm notorious for nailing them in the RL...
13. I didn't really get the point of Auto Hold, until I tried it and it's fantastic, especially in drive throughs. I haven't been in any bad traffic with it yet, but I imagine it's just as nice. I never had a car with the advanced cruise, so that will be fun to learn, too...
14. The lane departure warning system confirms the fact I'm a poor driver....
