>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
