Summary:
So far so good about 11months. I'm long commuter with HWY and estimate MPG around 20~21. (DS shift with some funs came out around 17 but it was worth to fun drive. lol) Voice recognition delivered wrong function sometime but keep trying for hand free.

Strengths:
Handling, power improved than last version.
Good MPG. Excellent Braking. MP3 can play on CD. Backup Camera is useful than last version.

Weaknesses:
3rd row seat is crappy. If you are looking for 7 passenger seat, don't even think about it. 11yrs my son even can't sit.(I think good for just 5) Basic sound system is pathetic.

Summary:
Broken down before the first oil change! 3,000 miles and in the shop for days - due to the notoriously bad i-drive system's on-going failures. I'm going to look to dump the car after 11 months - the biggest disappointment of a car I've owned.

Strengths:
good looks

Weaknesses:
unreliable, a computer controls everything and software meltdowns shut the car down completely. only buy this car as an extra ride b/c you will need a back-up. And when it does meltdown, you cant do little things like put it in nuetral, remove the key, etc. Just for fun, the "roadside assistance is AAA so get ready to sit in a dead car for hours.
