i'll take exception with one. small, part there. it is an everyday car. at least here in houston where the snow usually doesn't get too deep. :lol:
i also found it to be suprisingly good over long distances. one trip was 3600 miles in under 4 days and it was amazingly kind to my somewhat sensitive back.
the dealer makes a huge difference. i have had some minor troubles, the radio (twice) and a hatch rattle but i spent a few minutes getting to know the service guys and letting them know i'd work with 'em. they freely admitted that this is (was) the first one they'd had in and i've been pretty good about sharing some of the stuff i'm learning here. the overall attitude is more like "we're in this thing together". the radio guy couldn't fit in the car the first time so i remembered to tilt the back up and move the seat all the way back the next time. little stuff but trust me; a happy mechanic makes a happy car.
6 months, 8,000 miles and still....so happy i could just pee!!!
