Just did the Eastern seaboard road trip to Orlando from NJ (Disney, etc for mem day). What a drive! My '04 Silver 5 AT w/ Nav was awesome to drive for long hours. The bluetooth was very helpful for making those phone calls which helped to break the monotony. The Nav helped me get to the different amusement parks once I got to Orlando. The leather seats, climate control, and all the other refinements helped cut down on the fatigue had I been driving something less luxurious.

The fuel economy was also surprisingly well. At 70-75 mph on cruise control for most of the trip, I averaged 30 MPG!

The only "problem" I had was all the bugs that keep accumulating on my front bumper and windshield. Being the nut that I am with my TL, I stopped every 150 mi or so just to clean a lot of it off. Good thing for the clear bra I had installed!

Can't wait to do another road trip.

 

cool

 

Sounds like a suicide mission, doing that on a holiday weekend! Hit much traffic?

I went to the Jersey shore and hit 8 miles of Great Adventure traffic on 195, that was bad enough!
