Looks clean as can be. We got a 2013 in the family too, still solid as can be. Drives real nice too, am surprised at how buttoned down it feels for a 10yr old car.

Thanks my fellow Carolinian! People who don't know cars per se are shocked when they hear it's 10 years old. It's amazing how sound it is.Still fun to drive. NO major service either.

@Nalod & @jptwo3 - Where are you two guys located in North Carolina? I'm pretty familiar with the Piedmont area of W-S/Gboro/HP as well as Chapel Hill and Pinehurst.
