I'm currently reimbursed at .58 a mile.
I do not get anyhting, no milage, no car allowance, no salary, total commision. and w2, kinda a bummer, but I do not have a limit or cap in my income, so some sales jobs have limits, i am blessed to not have one

Move the seat rails, screw them down, and you are good to go.
Why doesn't an enterprising engineer type invent a pull out tray to fit between the seat and the central area where like a magnet anything you drop heads to?

I think there is, actually there are catch pouches you can slide between the seat and the center console and it will catch stuff. i never had one, but in a pinch, i have pulled a few bucks in change out of my seat sides. and a semi full lunch worth of french fries. So there are benefits to not have such pouch

I've got the pouches. They are never where I drop the pen lid. I am thinking something 'U' shaped maybe an inch high on the sides the length of the seat area accessible from the rear. Maybe a PCB tube sawn lengthwise?

I am pretty impressed with it, obviously its only been a day, but it peppy, like spunky, uber stable, feels tight, smooth, minor turbo lag. Its comfortable, although its 18 ways, I have them in my gt3, and like the added support. leg room is fine, and have a 36 inch inseam. in comfort mode, its docile. Sport and sport plus add respone, but I dont think they need sport, just have 2 setting. I bought it as a daily work car, plan on 60k mileage a year, not a family car, and not as big as my e350 i replaced, althought it has plenty of leg room, equal to my gt3, just different seating position.

Hope that's a CPO if its used. Unlimited mileage warranty would help a lot for you. Have fun

ITs cpo, I almost cannot buy a non CPO car.lol So it will see 300k unless some crazy issue. I have a few friends that have had a few, with over 150k on them, and have not had issue, but they also just use it for work, and are highway miles. I dont plan on beating on it, but do like the nimble feeling and really impressed with how smooth it is on the highway. i drove about 60 miles today, up and down 77 and got 26mpg. I really like it.

Nice! I like the silver trim over the black, I would spec a new car with the turbo look wheel. I love the 21 turbo wheel on the cayennes i was looking at originally.

I should start a diffenent thread on "long milage reveiw" I did 340 miles today, cruise at 76 mph. Averages 26.6 mpg. Now i live close to sealevel, and have highways with little hills, so that was from charlotte to greenville, then columbia, back to charlotte. (actually rock hill sc, ) its on the boarder. So i think it will be a solid 25mpg for me. Thats amazing, as i was worried it would get 15.
