Hi all
I have just ordered a phantom black cw slx. Have to wait 2 weeks for it to arrive and i am really looking forward to it. Its a petrol 2.0L auto. Not my first choice however the wife needs an auto.
Anything i need to be aware of for when it gets here??
Cheers

Ahhh another CW......We'll rule the world soon.

I have a 2010 CW seems sturdy enough, can't comment about the petrol engine because mines diesel, but other than that 43k down and its still going strong.

Yes Damo, you will have unparalleled enjoyment from your car in the years to come, coupled with great reliability and satisfaction.  :)

Other than that, not much & welcome to the forum.

Welcome Damo ..

We had a Diesel CRDi SLX Hatch for 28 months (without one warranty claim) and the wife now has a 2.0 Petrol CW Manual since January 2011.. and she loves it just as much as I loved the CRDi  :happydance:

Welcome Damo,

We have a 2 litre petrol auto...We got the auto for the same reason too...same as yours...it's good ! nothing really you need to worry about. 

If you like going for long drives, you may want a cruise control...if already not there.

It cost him a lot of money for the extra plating and it hasn't helped his economy (but he feels safer cruising through St Kilda now)  :whistler:

YAHOOOOOOOOOOO.
Got the call this arvo and the car will be delivered to me tomorrow afternoon @ 3pm. Just placed an order on ebay for some seat covers. Supercheap wanted $160 + per row. Ebay ones are $159 for a complete set. Not sure of quality but here is hoping.
