>If yes..... how you liking it? Got mine April 29 - base model, manual transmission, storm silver metallic.
I like it just fine after 950 miles - quiet, roomy, good handling, adequate power, well-assembled;
Have taken it easy for breakin period; have had it up to 85 on Interstate and it seems stable and willing to go faster;
Gas mileage is phenomal so far: First tank 40.4 mpg Second tank 40.5 mpg Third tank - leisurely trip on rural roads to blue ridge mountains, trip on skyline drive, return on rural/interstate, used a/c about 1/3 of the time: 45 mpg!
Has lots of features to like: instruments radio layout cup holders magic seats great shifter feel lots of standard equipment good legroom/ comfort in all seats
a few minor peeves: speedo markings could be better- numbered only every 20 mph; hash marks for 5 mph intervals hard to see - takes extra mental processing to determine your speed - its not intuitive. Wide A-pillars block visibility. Long clutch travel with short engagement zone. Lots of storage places but none are lockable
Overall, very satisfied
