Aside from a failed alternator, a finicky driver's side heated seat (known issue), and an errant "low oil" warning it's been a wonderful 3k miles of ownership so far. I really can't find anything about the thing I don't enjoy!
- Being my first boosted vehicle, I quickly fell in love with the ability to throw it in 3rd at 50 MPH and be able to pass slower traffic on two lane roads without hesitation. The 2.0 LHU engine really is a sweetheart.
- The seats are some of the most comfortable of any vehicle I've owned
- The factory 9-speaker, 325-watt Harman Kardon sound system sounds incredible when paired with a high quality LDAC Bluetooth adapter
- Before the switch to winter blend fuel, I was averaging over 28 MPG and over 500 miles of range per tank
I'm thinking of switching to HPL oil for the upcoming spring oil change since I plan to hold onto this thing for a long time. I have ZERO timing chain rattle at startup, even after sitting for a week in sub-freezing temps. I have no issue doing chains, I'd just like to delay it as long as possible.
