New owners here with around 500 miles already. Couldn't be happier with the car thus far. Interesting though that the vehicle we had the test drive with had Michelins and rode like a dream. We purchased a different color vehicle loaded to the max and drove it home, it didn't feel like the same model whatsoever! I was just figuring the dealer had way too much air in the tires driving it home. Upon inspection after letting it set overnight, it did, they had 38 lbs in it. I lowered them to 32 psi. and reset the TPMS. Still not the same, even with less pressure. I knew the other vehicle we drove had Michelins and this car we drove home had the Bridgestones. It certainly did not ride and handle as good. we ran it to 300 miles and didn't like the way it drove compared to the car shod with Michelins. I called the dealer as the sales lady told us it had XM, and they just don't activate it at that dealer. Well I figured if they wanted an excellent rating, they would have to do something for us. I asked them to change out our wheels and tires to the Michelins, and install XM for cost. We ended up paying $300 to have XM installed, and they switched out the wheels and tires from a new car to ours. The wife drove it home and I called to ask how the new Michelins were. She insisted that they were awesome. Just like the ride from the car we drove prior to purchase. I checked the pressures in them that night she brought it home, and they were at 36 lbs. I drove it yesterday and all I can say is what a difference! The Michelins make that car! Nice smooth ride, its like a different car. We are seeing 36.8 MPG on the first tank and its fairly cold here in Minnesota. Bursts of full throttle to seat the rings lower that MPG also. Very nice vehicle.
