I'll get more pics in soon, thanks for being patient :-) So one major thing on my first few days with it is stalled the engine twice with start-stop already! I think start-stop & colder climates do not mix. It's around 8-9 C (46.4 - 48.2 F) here and I'm seeing a pattern with those two stalls, they were both on:

1. First engine stop after cold engine start

2. At a long stop light ~2-4 mins with the engine stopped.

First time it was rather embarrassing! Asked my CA about it and basically told me to not use start-stop until the weather gets warmer.

Anyway, still love it! She's beautiful AND has character :-)
