Very Solid Car
This is a very solid mid-sized car. It has very good safety features, such as adaptive cruise control and blind spot monitoring. The headlights are excellent, the best I have ever had. The auto high-beam feature is very accurate and helpful. It has very good climate control and an average sound system. The navigation is a bit clumsy but accurate. The suspension is "short" so a lot of road irregularities are transmitted sharply, especially any dips in the road. The transmission sometimes "flattens out", such as when you are accelerating from a standing start and need to merge with traffic. It will just not engage and has left me stranded for a few seconds in some pretty critical situations. From industry professionals I am told this is a feature of the type of transmission used. I had the same style transmission in my Subaru's and they did the same thing, so I believe the professionals. As I said, this only happens for a few seconds, occasionally [as in not very often], and is a characteristic of the transmission used accross brands. I have also noticed that the transmission is not as "crisp" in hot weather [I live in the desert southwest]. Cooler weather = better performance. All in all a very good all around vehicle.
