1st long trip (thoughts)

The wife and I motored over to PA and back today to see some old friends: Final verdict?? this car rocks!

Smooth as silk on the highway, even with the low profile tires. The USA Today guy was right, the tires are kinda loud, but maybe just because the rest of the car is so quiet.

Tons of power, tranny kicks down w/no hesitation: great for passing that last truck before the 12th #%@!! construction site.

75 mph @ 2000 rpm meant 31 mpg on the round trip - and it's only got 1400 on the oddo, so that may even get better still.

The stereo is great, the 6 disc in-dash is a must-have

No squeaks, rattles, or anything but driving bliss.

Sniff...I love this car, man

Not to rain on your parade, but I'm going to rain on your parade: I didn't have a SINGLE squeak or rattle for 3200 miles ... and then the cows came home.

Good luck.
