New R owner, quick review.

Passed Driver's Ed
Thought I'd add a few more likes/dislikes...

Likes:

Brakes feel good/powerful (brake-dust is a pita, though).
Fuel mileage is pretty good, I can average about 24-25mpg with easy driving.
I rarely carry rear passengers, so I removed the rear seat headrests - rear visibility is now very good.
Glovebox is a good size and the manual-booklet shelf is a good idea, it keeps it out of the way so it doesn't eat up glovebox room.

Dislikes:

6th gear could be a bit longer, for a more relaxed/more efficient highway cruise (that said, 6th gear is responsive on the highway and usable around town).
Sunroof switch is a pita, IMO. I'd prefer a more traditional rocker switch.
Door pockets are not well designed...they're short/deep and you can't easily see what's in them. There's a small, narrow area at the rear that can trap small items.
Nav screen a bit small. Certain nav/audio system commands are not intuitive.
Inset gauge faces can become dark on cloudy days.

Still, no major complaints.
