I also live in Cook County (North Suburbs).

All I have to say, avoid the dealerships around here (Highland Park and Fields, specifically) like the plague.

And as far as the other poster, and bent wheels, the last time I was at the dealer they mentioned that my rear wheels were very slightly bent (which I found strange) but the car has no vibrations or steering pull issues, so I'm reluctant to spend a bunch of money on new OEM wheels, but it goes to show that the potholes can wreak havoc.

The heated seats are definetely a bonus IMHO and as far as headlight wipers, well, they just look kinda neat :P

I've found TRACS to be all but useless in my experience, I always feel it's not actually working. when my tires break lose they just kinda bounce around up front making the whole car shudder until I back off the gas rather than being slowed. (I kinda wonder why they don't spin freely either.... anyone know the answer to that?)

Good Luck and welcome to the windy city,
Scott Silverman
