Tell me about it.....the shift knob is a killer when you get into the car after its been sitting for awhile. Maybe this is just a AZ thing, but I kinda want just a plain black shift knob

The shift knob gets scalding hot here in TX too. It's much better if you put a visor in your window all day. I think ceramic tint before next summer is in order...

Also, the temp dropped to about 95 degrees here and the car seems to do fine in this temperature. I can mostly stay in eco-mode and I'm back at 38-40 mpg compared to 35-36. Soon as it hits about 100+, the a/c can't keep up and neither can the cooling on the battery.

I was at the dealer today and they wanted 98.00 for the base model shift knob that was not aluminum. What a rip.
