Just got back from a thousand mile road trip over the holiday's, and it
drove like a charm. Most noticable was the highway stability in high
winds and rain (half the trip). Like a rock. Also noticed that you
really have to be a little more aware than perhaps a smaller lighter
car coming to a stop and anicipate the circumstances or so it seemed to
me. It's been said in that the shorter seat "pans" contribute to leg
fatigue, BS! Very little body fatigue at all. I find that the trip
computer is a bit of bother as you have to take one hand and your eyes
off the road and reach around the wheel while driving. Perhaps a mount
on the steering wheel along with the radio and cruise control would
take at least one of these issues away. Internal room and trunk space
phenomal. 3 people, luggage (gifts boots etc) for four days not an
issue at all. Gas mileage was much better than expected with the 6.
The larger engine gave a bit more security while highway driving as the
additional power was called on more than once to avoid potential
problems. Windsheild wipers left not a smudge and clearing the glass
was made quicker with the 6 sprayers on the hood. Front visibility was
excellent side was good (be sure to check twice with that door
stanchion there) and rear, well I still miss the windshield wiper.
All in all passed the intitiation with an A. Doc
