Greetings,
Nice to see a forum for the new TB. I first saw one at the auto show in March. They had a preproduction Activ. It was not available to sit in and find out how it would feel. When I heard they would be out this spring I kept checking every couple of weeks to see when any dealer would have them.
I have had mine now for two weeks. I have yet to see another one on the road. I do know the dealer I bought from has sold a few more since. It is a Scarlet Red LT AWD. So it has the 1.3T w/ 9 speed auto. I also own a red 2002 TB LT 4WD, and while these vehicles are not the same class. I can say I love the new one. I am 6'3" and like to wear baseball caps and this vehicle has lots of headroom and shoulder room. Rear seating is good for tall people too. Power is very good considering engine size. I was surprised how well it gets up to speed. I was the first to buy one from the dealership. They had about 10 on hand to look at. Even though mine is what I will call a base LT it has enough features I want. Some of the other stuff is nice, but not what I call necessary for my needs. The only two options I wished it had was the larger 8" screen. (Nothing wrong with the 7" screen) It just looks a little plain because of a wider rimmed bezel around it. The second being dual exhaust tips like the Active & RS models. People wondering, will be glad to know that the muffler on the LT does has two exhaust pipes(one on each side) under the rear bumper. I may look into getting the RS rear panel and have nice stainless steel tips welded on.
Part of my purchase is for the weathertech floor mats. I emailed weathertech and they responded that the mats would not be available until October. At least it will be before winter.
I have been looking for vendors to have vehicle specific accessories. Currently I have found nothing other than what Chevrolet has to offer(which isn't very much). Which is expected with such a new model. So vendors if you are out there, please take notice.
I believe these are going to sell very well. I look forward to seeing what others have bought/leased. If you have any questions feel free to ask and I will respond when I can.
One thing I am surprised about is that I have not seen a single commercial or magazine ad for this vehicle.
