Yeah some 5% ceramic will block a poo poo ton of the heat and light, but even going to 15% you aren't losing much heat rejection.

Why are you changing the oil that soon? Also, if there is a break in oil they are shipping the car with you might not want to change it that soon.

Because there are little bits of loose metal floating around in it? http://www.mototuneusa.com/break_in_secrets.htm
I don't know, I just am not bothered by spending $40 and changing the oil and (personally) having peace of mind. But that's just me.

That page reads like the biggest snake oil marketing pitch ever. "The results are always the same... a dramatic increase in power at all RPMs." Yeah, ok.

Wait, didn't you cancel like 3 orders for the car, change the oil and drop it already? No offense, but your decision making seems to be completely seat of your pants style. Maybe you should slow it down a bit because you're going to take a huge financial hit here.

The TDI also has a lot more features stock than the comparable gasser. It's not a strict gas vs. diesel fuel comparison.

One of us.

Waiting to sign the paperwork on a 13 Abarth Cabrio.

Traded my 11 WRX that I owed $9500 on and I'm walking out with the Abarth owing about the same.

Can you see out of the back with the top down?

The shifter was probably the single factor that prevented me from buying an Abarth.

Add in the convertible visibility with the top down and the trucker seating position for me.

You can only get your service done at a Fiat studio or a Chrysler dealership that has a Fiat certified technician on staff, Fiat does it that way because they don't want some minimum wage wrench monkey maintaining your vehicle.

Warranty work sure, but you can get regular service anywhere you please.
