Honestly, I love this for you! Would you say the only/biggest difference between your two MMEs is the speed? Would love to hear your impression of the differences between your two.

yeah was super bummed initially because i didn’t think i’d get enough to truly replace my 21 premium rwd (eibach lowering springs, sway bars, extended warranty, etc)

differences from 21 premium rwd to 23 gtpe:
- magneride suspension
- acceleration/4wd
- 20”x8 wheels/tires
- recaro-type bolstered front seats w/suede inserts
- 20-30miles extra range
-blue cruise 1.3 (i was stuck at 1.0 on the 21 job 1)
- newer hvjb (fingers crossed)

well worth the $3k extra i paid over what the insurance company AAA gave me for the 21

I had a minor accident where someone backed onto my MachE. Only visible damage was to license plate holder and the front right panel popped out from headlights housing. The panels and hood were not damaged. The estimate is over $6000!
Let me take a wild guess… insurance is involved? Auto insurance appears to have entered into an inflationary death spiral.

I suspect you could get your damage repaired by a small body shop for less than the cost of your deductible.

But when people choose to use their insurance, or better yet someone else’s insurance, the costs go wild and everyone’s rates go up as a result.

JUST SAY NO to Big Body Shop.
