Default My PPW is here...but

I don't know if I should pick it up on Wednesday since the forcast says it may be snowing in Toronto and we all know how bad those OEM tires are. This really is putting a damper in my spirit. Aghhh.

Finally picked it up today. First impression after 50Km compare to the Chipped Audi TT Quattro it replace:

1. This shifter is so sweet, short and definitive.
2. The power comes on sooooo linear.
3. This supension is so stiff, it close bone crashing
4. What ! there is no telescopic steering adjustment.
5. The seat is so comfortable, it wrap around you.
6. The exhaust sounds mean.
7. The emergency brake should have been level with the center console when off. What were they thinking.
8. There is no inside pull handle for the hatch.
9. Good looking car, great color even for people who doesn't like white.
10. This thing is way way faster than the chipped TT and I love it.

There is an inside hatch release lever. Its under the rear strut brace. Granted, its for emergency use only, but its there. Make sure you read the manual to learn all that important stuff, just in case. As long as the doors are unlocked, you can release the hatch with the button just above the rear license plate. Otherwise, just do what I do and hit the button on the remote.

Jon, I think he means there is no handle inside to CLOSE the hatch. Anyway, I just use the huge Nissan emblem to close it...

Yep, you've got it PowerZ. It is just something I am used to coming from an Audi TT.

I close my hatch by using the metal attachment ring on the inside of the hatch.
