Well, after two trips to the midwest from the east coast (1800 miles each trip), we've racked up over 12,000 miles in just over 6 months with the car. A bit much, but we don't plan on doing any more serious traveling for another year or so.
There has not been an ounce of trouble from this car. We purchased the EX with all the options except for a tow hitch, and now we're regretting getting that because someone gave us a bike rack and it would've come in handy with it. However, we'll be purchasing an aftermarket hitch and installing it next spring.
On the highway, the car averaged about 20MPG, and that was doing 70 through most of the turnpike. The car literally floats on the highway. We removed both the side passenger seats and still had plenty of room to lay out and stretch our legs if we had to. This also left plenty of room for luggage. Unusual setup, but it works.
I still can't believe I walked out of the showroom with this car, knowing that I paid about 2k less than I did 10 years ago for a new minivan back then with less options.
Anyone else having great luck with this car?
