    Hi from Kansas City

    Hello all I am Don, a new owner of a wine red 2017 G4 SE. Found this forum when I was looking for help on setting up bluetooth. Love my little car so far. Traded a 2000 Buick LeSabre for the G4 so going from a 3.8L V6 and 205 hp down to 1.2 I3 and 78 hp is taking a bit of getting used to.

    I am one of those who have to name their cars. So this one is "Mitsuko" which is a female Japanese name and has "Mitsu" in common.

    Had a great experience at my dealer so off to a good start. Hope I can learn and share about these great cars!

    Don

    I have been so busy and it gets dark here so early that I have not got a picture of Mitsuko yet but will post some. Thanks for the welcome!

    That's a big switch alright! I think you'll appreciate the fuel economy, as it seems that's what these cars do best. You'll also have a bunch of new features to explore. Be sure to read through your owner's manual to learn how to make adjustments to tailor it to your needs.

    Welcome and congratulations.
