Talking Impressions first 500 miles

It's been less than a week and about 500 miles and I see why so many here love this ride.
First.... filled up the tank after a 205 mostly freeway trip, 27.8 mpg, I should get close to 30 on a long trip.The best I was getting on my '08 Scion XB was 29/30 freeway so I'm happy.
Handling is spot on, I'm 5'9" so it fits just right. The body has some of the sexiest lines I've seen on a car.
This has to be one of the most underated cars ever, too bad Chrysler dropped the ball in marketing, but better for us price wise.
Btw did I mention how much fun mountain roads can be, the ride up to Lake Tahoe has always been great fun on a bike and now just as much on four wheels. HOZARR!!

Thumbs up Re: Impressions first 500 miles

Con-grats on the new ride!
Are you mistaking the cruise control lever up with the turn signal lever? I've had my SRT for a few weeks now and STILL get them mixed up!!!!

I did that constantly when I first got mine. I thought I was going to rip the cruise control off??

Haha! I did that for at least the first few weeks but have since adjusted. The one time I almost hit someone because I backed off the accelerator but it was on cruise so it kept moving. That was a little scary.

I've had mine going on three years and still mix them up occasionally. Slow learner here.
