Always 87 for me. Usually they recommend premium fuel if it is at all necessary and in the case of this car it is not recommended. I am not an expert but why not just do what the manual says of you care about your pocketbook at all.

Yeah the Cdn 3 has the rain sensing wipers. Word is that they suck. Apparently they aren't that great at sensing how hard it is raining. I've heard alot of 3 owners say they would rather have reg int wipers.

Bah, my int setting has never worked. I'll have to b**** at the dealer next oil change. I just listened to my rear wiper and it sounds slightly different than the front ones but nothing to be concerned about. Not very loud at all.

lol I have them on my Caravan. When you're at a red light on interval setting, the wipers move less often than when you're traveling 20km/h or faster. No big deal.

Already had mine replaced once. When I got my CD's back there were demoed too! Bottom line is the changer has too many moving parts for it to be reliable. If mine quits after my warranty is up, I'm gonna put in the single disk or an mp3 player.

By the way is there supposed to be an interval setting on the rear wiper, because mine only works on or off. There is a "knotch" for int setting, but when I put it there nothing happens.

My rear wiper is almost silent. If there is a whine there is likely something wrong with it.

I guess it is different in the US. I bought a loaded 6 hatch and got the auto dimming mirror with homelink, but not with the compass. This comes with the GT model in Canada.

That's not what I heard. Production was supposed to start in June I thought, which means delivery in like Aug, sept. Maybe your dealer is overstocked in 04's and hasn't ordered any yet.

By the way, doesn't anyone else think it's stupid how you don't get the compass in the mirror when you get a loaded 6 with the homelink. I always though that would be really handy and would look cool to boot. I think when you buy the mirror from the dealer you get it.

I have the homelink mirror and my guess is that the wire goes from the mirror up to the top of the windshield and around the edge of the windshield, which is why you can't see it. I'm not sure about this though. I think you have to drill into the glass too, which is always nerve racking. If...

I've never heard the gas slosh in my M 6, but I know the sound is very common in other cars like my Dodge Caravan for example. Sometimes it sounds like Niagara Falls is right behind you! :D

Yeah the front speakers sound good until you turn them up loud enough to hear them. Then they rattle like crazy. It's a shame really, because it sounds like something that could easily be fixed with a littler more padding and insulation inside the doors around the speakers.

I have noticed the slow, rough shifting on my ATX too. So does all this mean those of us with the 5 speed jatco will probably be replacing our trannys during or soon after the warranty expires? I'm also curious, can you just throw in the new 6-speed tranny into your engine once the 5-speed...

That blows. I'll keep playing the lottery.
