The steering is precise and the handling is easy and predictable. Pontiac did a good job on this little car.

The automatic transmission took some time to get used to, and learning to use it's several modes of operation to properly upshift and downshift takes a little time.

I've not been very excited about any car since the 70's, but this car really has rekindled my interest.

Welcome to the forum. I'm sure you'll have many miles of smiles, and it sounds like even after just one day, your already on your way to having a perma grin.

Thanks for sharing your first day experiences with us.
