Thanks for the warm welcome! One thing I'm working on right now is seat covers. I've read around the forums some and tried to find the best solution. Anyone found a good site for these? I would prefer the leatherette. I don't mind paying because I plan to keep the car for awhile and my seats are terrible!! I've tried to clean them like some others have said and no luck. I've checked pfyc.com and they only have custom covers for the front seats. Any solutions?
Also, I just did the recall for the ignition column. Anyone do this? Did your key still work after or did they make you buy a new key? My dealer claimed the tip of my key was broken so I had to buy one anyway. Shouldn't it have been included since the column was replaced?? Oh, and they broke my key in half so I'll never know if it was really broken! They said they did it so I wouldn't try to stick the old one in the new ignition column. C'mon...I may be a girl but I'm not an idiot! Grrrr...

If I were you, I think I would try a different dealer...problematic key or not, I wouldn't be too happy with them for that. You'd think they should include the new key if needed, since they were fixing a recall issue anyway.
Anyway, you'll find lots of info/help here. Great site with good people.
