I sat down on 'em today in 0C weather (SNOW?!?? WTF!!?!?!) and they weren't bad, actually. I can add the elements at any time, so I'll think about it over the summer and see how we do into the fall.
As for running synth - if it's better for the engine and prolongs its life, I really don't care about the cost. Same for the K+N - I hate paying for new paper filters.
The compass in the centre stack doesn't bother me... it's really more of a novelty as I'll be using GPS for "real" navigating anyways and it looks neat being in the opposite lower corner from the OAT (Outside Air Temperature).
As for the controls, Dan - all the selectors for airflow position and such are pushbuttons. The fan speeds and air temperature selector are dials. They seem big enough and easy enough to work with gloves but I haven't tried them yet, honestly. I'm normally too stupid to attempt driving with gloves on so we may never know! :lol:
I'm actually debating getting sat radio as the headunit supports it (Sat button and all). The Line In works great too for my Sony Ericsson Walkman phone.
The one thing I AM really digging is going from a monochrome front end to a monochrome front end. I don't mind the interior chrome at all, but I'll let the wheels "do the talking" as far as bling goes. ;) Don't worry, that's coming.
