I have heated seats now, and there is no way I'd buy a car without them. I looked at the RT, too, but it just didn't seem worth it to me. I think it basically means you get chrome clad wheels. It seems like lot of money for shiny wheels I won't see unless I'm cleaning them. That's just me though.
Also, I won't buy another car without heated seats. The cloth seems pretty good for these. If it is as good as advertised, I think the cloth may be better for wear and dirt than the leather. I hope so. That's what I got in my SXT.
So, Thunder, be sure to post how you're getting along with your SXT. I'm a little concerned with the MyGig hard drive. My dealer told me that it was 30 Gb in the 2009's I hope so. 20 Gb seemed a little cramped with the nav system data , etc. along with my music collection. I'm not planning on carting around my CDs any longer. There should be absolutely no need.
I ordered this car for the fun factor. I once had a GMC Jimmy. It was inexpensive, and I had a blast with friends. I wasn't too worried about stains or door dings. It was very different with my '87 Pontiac Trans Am GTA with its gold diamond spoke wheels . I was so careful with it that it really wasn't as fun as it should have been. It was a beautiful car. I still pull out some pictures once in a while just to remember how much I liked that car. The Journey will be a vehicle I can drive to my brother's house, have the iceboxes filled and enjoy some guy time. That seems wierd to write given that this is such a family vehicle. Oh, well. It was nice to read your post. I hope you get your car soon. ETA on mine is April 10 give or take a few days, I guess. I ordered the dark blue. What color is yours, Thunder?
