Congrats to you. See you have the glass top. Hope you like yours as much as I like mine. I have the painted as well.

That's correct, I wish it was a dual roof car, but not upset about the one I have either. I like it a lot more than I thought I would actually

Forgot to mention, I do have an appointment with a local dealer on Tuesday, the darn thing vibrates something weird above 70 mph or so. Hopefully they don't give me any issue since I didn't buy the car there ( I was well into my trip home before I noticed it )

Unfortunately the fender stripes are junk too, the dealer must not have known what they were doing when they put them on. I contacted the original dealer about that as I assume since they are dealer installed that isn't going to be a warranty issue. ( it was raining when I picked the car up and didn't notice how bad they were bubbled) hopefully the dealer returns my email.

Congrats on the new addition. Question though, we traded in my wifes Ford explorer that was riddled with issues for a Cadillac SRX and she loves it. Was there anything you didn't like about the ATS?

could be air pressure incorrect, bad spot in tire, wheels not balanced right etc...

Loved the car, just a little "tame" for me... I need a little drama in my drive if that makes sense. In all reality it's a fantastic car. And is light years ahead of anything else I've owned as far as quality.

Air pressure was a little low. i filled all 4 tires up, so it did get better compared to the drive home. However it's still there. Figured I'd rather get It looked at now while the miles are low, than try and explain its been there the whole time when there are a couple thousand miles on the car.

Did you buy used? Previous owner may have hit something or one of the wheel weights could have fell off. I'd take them into get balanced and see if that improves the ride some. Happened in my truck.

No it's a new one..

That does mean it sat for a long time on that lot being a 2012. Could be flat spots? Adding air helped, but didn't solve it. Either way I'd rather be safe than sorry.
It also has Goodyears, I haven't read great things about them.

I'm more worried that I'll have trouble about the stripes than the vibration.

Take it over to the dealer and see what they say. Should be warranty work.

Vibration seems to be getting better with time? Maybe the tires really were flat spotted from sitting..

I asked the original dealer to get me new stripes and send them to me. Waiting to see if they are going to.
