i am goin to complain about the tires. i had the car for almost a week and it was raining for a couple of days. the car i feel is sliding with the bridgestone tires. hopefully they will switch them to the michelin ps2. i dont want to drive a car that i feel it can lose control from the wet road. i don't even speed and i still feel like the car is about to slide when i make a 5 mph turn in the parking lot at work. but so far the ride and comfort and pickup amazes me. im glad i went wit the F.

the parking brake has to be engaged also in conjunction of being in park you can do the "hack" or buy the adapter to override it.

i drive slowly when the road is wet but even at slow turning speed in the parking lot the car feels like it is slipping at 5 mph. thanks for the tip on the parking brake i don't normally use it unless im parked on a slope or hill.

It's most likely that the current tires that you have on are the ones that are with low treads. Like Dre mentioned the Potenzas are good on mine also no slippage. Btw Congrats on the new ride
