Through the years I have owned many vehicles. By far this is the smoothest ride of all. I LOVE the dual zone air conditioning. After the initial break-in period my gas mileage has been pretty consistant at 35mpg in the city. I live in a small town and everything is 15 minutes away. I have made 2 out of town trips and I averaged 39 mpg. I cant express enough the comfort of this vehicle. Someone mentioned the lack of space in the sunglass holder - both my Oakley and Versace sunglasses fit nicely, I use it regularly.
The ride from the back seat was comfortable as well. During one of our road trips I had the privilege of riding in the back. I found the seats were at a slight angle the kept us from feeling like we were sitting straight up and we could relax. The rear air condition vents are always a nice feature, but, the temperature that the passenger selects is also the temperature for the rear. The rear also has a flat floor, no middle hump, so our legs were not cramped into a small space.
For me the drawbacks would be the smaller trunk traveling with four we had to be pretty creative when packing our weekend bags. You have to program your navigation system before you get on the road, and pull off to make any changes.
Overall I highly recommended this car!
