CGT Question
Hello CGT owners, just picked up 05 CGT from the dealer yesterday (Black/Ascot) and I noticed today that the computer display shows a "brake servo failure" before the car starts. Once the car starts the error message goes away. The car drives fine and the brakes are fine, haven't driven hard enough to know if traction control is fine. I will take the car back to dealer monday to check, but was wondering if anyone else had experienced it.
any info would be much appreciated.

Piece of advise; don't drive it like you just stole it.
The car has more capability than the ability of 99.9% of the driver. 
Just enjoy it!

It's a fun and easy car to drive, at least during the 1,000 mile break-in period. Limiting the RPM's to under 4,200 is a smart way to get comfortable with the car's handling. The clutch is no issue. The brakes are superb. The traction is awesome. I suspect that the urge to showboat has gotten many new CGT drivers into trouble. In my opinion, self control is more important that extreme driving skills.

Beautiful!
Congrats..I have a black one, too. It is absolutely beautiful when it is clean...but what a pain to keep clean!!! (Hm, maybe my dealer would trade for a Guards Red one???)
Besides the error message, the other new owner thing that threw me for a loop was that the passenger window button has to be held down to roll the window up. The driver button is a simple "quick tap" and it rolls up.
