Hi there,
I just picked up my brand new 2012 Supernova Silver MP4-12C today and here is my initial 100 miles report.
What I like so far:
1. Awesome performance- acceleration, handling and braking are top notch! I can't wait to put on some XPEL and go on some spirited driving through my local canyon roads!
2. The supernova paint is something that needs to be seen in person to enjoy its true depth of color. Love it!
3. Very comfortable ride in normal suspension mode. This is easily the most comfortable supercar that I have ever owned.
Quirks:
1. IRIS sucks ass! My car was upgraded to the 10.6 version and within the first 100 miles, I had to reset IRIS multiple times because navigation wouldn't recognize my current location. My phone couldn't connect properly via bluetooth and when it did, the call quality was so bad that the person on the other side of the call couldn't understand anything I'm saying. When I tried the navigation while listening to music, the navigation instruction would distort my iPod music. IRIS would freeze trying to connect to my iPod. The only way to fix this is to reset IRIS, unplugg my iPod, click on Media and then reconnect my iPod.
When is the next software update going to come out?
2. I can already hear a rattle from the dashboard. I think it's coming from the cheap plastic trim pieces. If I put some pressure on the top leather portion of the dashboard, the rattle goes away completely. Has anybody experienced this in their car?
3. A lot of interesting mechanic/hydraulic noises inside the cabin when I'm pressing on the brake and cruising around. Can someone shed a light on this?
Things that I need to do in the near future:
1. XPEL clear bra and window tint
2. Modify my existing rear view mirror with Homelink (still can't believe this car doesn't have it!)
I took some crappy pictures on my phone today. Will take some better ones soon!
