I'd say that's a pretty fair review. The handling in this car is awesome, the B&O is a real treat, and the power is adequate but now mind-blowing. I don't think the Nav is nearly as bad as they make it sound, though. I've not noticed it being so sluggish.

I wonder how they had that car configured to top $50k without having the S-line package.

My car was about 50K without the S-line package or the B&0... but that was with taxes and all that other crap on top...

Just over 7000 miles on the clock and 17.1 mpg is my average.

Haha ok more specifically... what kind of fuel economy are the 3.2L folks getting?

I just drove about 100 miles at 60-80 mph and got 31 mpg!!!! I was surprise about that but thats what it says..... but other than that, the mpg is about like 10-12....

I'm averaging 9L / 100 km, which is 31 mpg in Canada. I'd guess that's closer to 26 mpg for Americans

 

[aerodave]

You use those crazy imperial gallons too? I'll never understand Canadians...are you sure you're on the same continent as us?

Not only that...

Dave, but isn't our Northern neighbor metric also.
