I see in your second video you tested a song that was bass heavy. How was the subwoofer bass of the car? Clear? Crisp? Loud? Did you actually feel it bumping?
cool vids by the way.. thanks for the uploads

I tested a HUGE variety of songs, from the song in the vid (THis is why i'm hot) all the way to Cindy Lauper's Time after Time.... hahahahhaa. yea, shutup. lol The salesperson was astonished.
I didnt feel it really BUMP, but rather it was crisp and refined. I do like the BUMP feeling too, but i was so busy playing with everything that i cant really remember now. CRISP is good word to describe it, but not BUMP or Rattle.... that could be bad or good depending on ur taste
Maybe its cuz lotta cushion in the seat to dampen it? iunno
Oh well, that means i "need" to go test drive more

^^ would you say the bass is adequate? Was the bass gain turned up all the way when you tested, or was there more room to go up? Did it sound like it was gonna distort if you tried to crank it higher?

BASS and treb were at MAX, BAL and FAD were all in center.
Seemed there was auto speed / volume correction going on, which i didnt like... didnt get into the menus enough to check it out.
It didnt sound like OMG im in a 40K lux car with 11 speakers, but it did sound prettty good. I'm comin from a 6 speaker toyota corolla. My audio expectations are high usually.

Not sure how accurate this is, or if you all already knew... but it was news to me.

Thanks for posting those vids, got to love that exhaust, sounds a lot more throaty/aggressive than I was expecting.
EDIT: oops nevermind, I thought you were talking about the gen 1 coupes, I've heard the 6-disc changer moves to the trunk on Nav cars but if they get rid of it entirely I'm not too worried especially with the iPod Interface.

Woah i was aware of voice recognition and all but i didnt know u could change car temperature and all. What other kind of voice commands can the nav system take? Also im seeing ppl are pleased with the sound system in the car but i recall a certain magazine review saying the bose system is crap. Im not sure what their issue with it was but im sure with some tweaking the system will be real nice. Did you happen to try the live stage feat i think its called?

anotha: I think its called SoundStage. I started to look for it, but didnt keep it up. Just had small amount of time to enjoy it all. Lol
crazycarl16: PM'ed u back
Orbie: You're right, we got LOTTa music options as it is. So, not hard pressed bout the 6-disc in trunk goin away. Ah well.. less weight? lol
I did like the voice commands for HVAC, NAV, Phone, etc. What really impressed me was this Nav actually speaks the name of the street (like VZ Nav on my cell phone).
I'm used to the basic TomTom and Garmin systems not being able to do that.
