Ok we are in a 3500+ miles road trip and I am writing this review at 1000 miles into the trip. 2 adults 2 kids (6 and 11). Everybody love the comfort of the car and how smooth it is. Seriously, the rules are, I drive and my wife is the co-pilot. I told her that I felt bad because I was cheating. I have nothing to do but hold the steering wheel. I setup the cruise control in the morning and then the car drive pretty much by itself. I love it.
regarding the gas consumption, yesterday was 26/27mpg and today with front wind, it was 23mpg. Not bad. Anyway, also the packing was so much fun. No need to think about it. Just load up the car.
oh yes it is not a race car so everybody that mentioned the cvt and everything related to it, and that it is not powerful enough etc… didn’t buy the right car. I am a product development engineer in automotive and I am really impressed by this car. Very amazing. If you don’t like it, well, you will never like any family cars.
