Functional-Things I really like
1. Bi-Xenon HID lights with AFS and Automatic high beams.
2. Navigation System w/remote controller- blows away the windshield add-on devices but why didn't they include altitude ???
3. 4 wheel individual tire pressure readings

Could be a better design - accessory plugs, small out of convenient reach buttons for ODO, pwr tail lift, hard to see buttons for garage door etc at night. I liked the elastic bag type feature behind front seats for storage better than the hard plastic pull-outs that clearly are only for magazines. I miss the individual arm rests on the front seats.

For an SUV of this size and economy, the car handles like a dream, quite and very easy to drive. I won't let my little niggly comments re; could be a better design, detract from my enjoyment.

I've learned the art of pulling off the engine covers so I could see it, then put them back.

I agree with all the above. I like the HUD and the ability to pull my sail boat trailer occasionally.

I also agree with your assessment Jim, but as tnb1 stated, I really like the HUD. Additionally, believe it or not, now that I know how to use it and what it means, I like the "Past Record" energy monitor.

I was in a hurry and didn't finish. I was also going to list functions I'd have taken if available. One was the HUD, the other was AWD.
