Favorite feature: |
Operation of the semi-automatic of the top is excellent. Very easy and a quick operation. |
Least favorite feature: |
Nothing yet. |
Advice to buyer: |
You need the Front End cover if excessive highway driving. Road debris takes a heavy toll on the hood and fenders. I have one on now. |
Detailed review: |
Very satisfied with performance. Overall build quality is excellent so far. Ride has a very stable feel and comfortable. I've owned this for 4 months and 5,000 miles and have not had to return to the dealer for other than the first oil change. The back seat is fine for 2 kids. Trunk space is limited, but who would expect anything different.
Gas mileage is fine, but not the best considering the size. I average 24 MPG so far.
Driving in bad weather was fine during the March snow storms. The front wheel drive provided a pretty good grip on the snow and slippery roads.
Dash board controls are easy to figure out, but reading the owners manual thoroughly is essential.
I'm really enjoying it so far. |
