LONG POST...
I just completed a one week trip from Southern California up to Seattle and back, and figured I'd provide some feedback on our 2,000 mile adventure...

1) Mileage - we averaged 52. That's with two adults and a child, all of our stuff, and two road bicycles in the trunk! Temp was HOT in CA (95 to 100) so A/C was used. I'm pleased to report that my wife did a GREAT job on mileage, often exceeding my MPG totals! Our speeds were in the 57 to 63 range, except for one 250 mile stretch where we drafted off trucks and ran at 70 MPH with A/C and got a whopping 55 MPG!!! Overall, we're VERY pleased!

2) Comfort - our longest legs were 1st and last day... 850 miles each. That's 14 hours of drive time, and I never got uncomfortable in the seats. The back seat was a BIG surprise. The most comfortable I've ever been in the rear... and that includes all kinds of SUVs. Everyone fell asleep in the rear... must be the cushy seats and the silky smooth CVT shifting! Only down side was the radiant heat from the glass. I MUST get the windows tinted!

3) NAVI - You've gotta get this thing! I've never had a car with built-in navi, and it's WONDERFUL. So convenient on road trips. We needed a hotel and it quickly found one and gave us the phone number. "Judy" (my son's name for the Navi voice) always got us to the destination! Judy isn't without her faults, however. Quite often she would put waypoints in the incorrect order, and she would repeat stupid warnings (You're entering an unverified area...."). I wish there was a quick mute button to turn Judy off at times!

4) Function - The car performed flawlessly. Not so much as a hiccup or sputter. Road noise is a bit high on certain highways, but I do have my tires at 40psi, so that could be part of it. Tires were quiet on most of the roads, however. CVT sure revs up on the big hills. Amazing to watch your hard-earned MPG go down the drain on the steep climbs, but it does return on the downgrades, of course! I was amazed to see the battery drain as low as two bars... then charge up to all eight in just five minutes!

It was a great trip. Still can't believe we packed in so much gear and had plenty of room for us... and got 52 mpg, too!
