Graceful and grateful!
This car is...graceful. Its design is sporty enough to be pleasing, but it just has such great lines and its own little physical personality. Very stylish compared to other SUVCS. Distinctive. The drive itself is graceful. It is smooth, the interior is incredibly comfortable and the features are overall intuitive. You simply slide into the seat and feel at home. The car has pep, and handles GREAT on turns. HUGS turns, and I always feel fully in control. The transition as it shifts from gear to gear is seamless. A bit of a lag when passing on large hills, but easily recovers. I have a bit of a lead foot. I get great city and highway gas mileage. While extolling its virtues, it does have a few areas to improve. I HATE that I have to deactivate idle stop and go. It should be a feature we choose and not one that is thrust upon us. I'd really like a searchable online manual as opposed to thumbing through the paper manual (who actually READS the manuals??) so I end up Googling and relying on other customers to problem-solve the few things I could not figure out but did not want to embarrass myself by calling a dealer! For the price, I found the standard features to be awesome - much more than I anticipated. The drive is quiet and ...gentle? You don't feel the road as much with this vehicle. I feel like I have bought a LOT of luxury for a much lower price than one would expect.
