The trip computer is not instinctively easy to use.
Advice to buyer:
Insist that your dealer replace the pathetic Bridgestone Turanza EL 42s with good tires.
Detailed review:
For the money, there is nothing close in the near luxury market. The level of standard equipment kills the competition. Superb engine and handling, with the right tires. (The Bridgestone Turanza EL 42s fitted as original equipment are total junk and unworthy of this vehicle.) The fit and finish is outstanding. Some torque steer under heavy acceleration. Excellent fuel economy (27 mpg all-in) is a very pleasant surprise. Fantastic sound system.
