Just completed a 6000 mile trip through 9 states in 18 days. Overall, the car performed very well with a total average of 20.1 mpg. The flat front end catches lots of bugs and there is a wind noise in the gap where the top of the windshield is attached. Very comfortable ride and all systems seemed to work nominal. The map display is hard to see under certain lighting conditions due to the poor contrast ratios. There is too much ground clearance and the vehicle has a noticeable "rake" as the rear end is higher than the front. Mountain driving is tougher as the center of gravity is too high. You have to be basketball player to reach the dip stick.
Note:
The car ran too fast in Utah resulting in a speeding ticket
