Drove the car brand new to and from Florida to Delaware. Averaging 25 mpg city, 33 mpg long trip highway. I have been using regular gas since new, and feel no adverse affects. I am not a performance freak, but love the power as is.
My disappointments, in order of magnitude and frustration are:
No keyless entry.
Jolting suspension over rough roads.
Difficult to see speedometer reading in daylight. Wished it was reversed with tachometer.
Run flat tires. I have the standard 17" rims and all season tires, ordered because I did not want to have 2 sets of seasonal tires, which are not needed in southern Delaware.
Poor storage area upfront (with pan roof), no passenger assist handle.
No front fog lights (non sport package).
More interior road noise than what I had expected. No wind noise, however.
Gas mileage not up to EPA ratings.
Road slop from wet or slushy roads enter behind the doors significantly, shows with white color.
Several not so great or intuitive controls or displays. Audio the worst.
Having all stalk controls on left side. I've hit cruise control when I intended to use directional signals, etc.
What I like the most:
Beautiful styling, looks great in white with grey MBTex interior.
Not bothered at all by interior size nor rear headroom. Adult rear passengers should be warned not hit their heads upon entering, however.
Great seats, very pleasant ride comfort.
Harmon Kardon sound system.
Powerful acceleration.
