"A true sports sedan"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Nothing at this point as it's new.

General comments?

My first day of driving to work through a twisting canyon almost brought tears of emotional joy, the way it handled.

Not a creak, body rattle or straining sound - just a slight sound of air turbulence around the outside driver's mirror. But to give you an idea of how quiet the cabin is, the loudest noise while cornering, is the sound of the steering wheel rubbing against your hands.

The 5 speed manual transmission is the smoothest I've ever driven. Although the throw is a bit on the long side.

Acceleration is amazing for an almost 2-ton car. Yet gas mileage is in the mid 20 MPGs for mixed highway/city driving.

A shame we don't have an Autobahn in America.

What is the amount for gas mileage how far does it go on a full tank.
