[Hoo]

Ordered the competition package largely because I really like the wheels so much better than the other 19"s. The package is obviously mostly just cosmetic. I could actually live without the 1 cm drop--hopefully I won't hit any curbs as a result, but improved handling can't hurt, though I doubt I'll ever push the car hard enough to really notice the difference. I understand that though the wheels are wider, the tires are the same size, so at least there won't be a further penalty price-wise for new rubber. Don't care much for the rear spoiler. The rear lights are OK, not significantly better than the old--suspect they'll look better when you apply the brakes. Auto Start-Stop function is a surprise. Will be interested to see if we really get it in US. I am anxious to see how it works, but if it can be turned off, I'm fine with it. It would be nice if it really did improve gas mileage significantly.
