Chukbug - Very well written review.

I cannot agree with you more on your initial impressions as they echo my own. While you alluded to it in your first bullet, I am so impressed with the quality and fit of the doors when they are shut - a very solid "Thud".

When it comes to fuel economy, I wish I lived in a less hilly terrain, as over the nearly 200 miles I have put on my '06 in the last week, since I took delivery, I am currently at about 40 MPG (as high as 47 on the way home from the dealer), which I don't think is too bad, since many of the miles are put on going to and from work (heavy traffic, cool Pennsylvania mornings, limited auto-stops until I am about half way to work or half way home, etc).

I am also very excited that my wife (competitive by nature) is sharing in my quest to get the highest mileage.

I must admit she is currently leading me!
