Six cylinder is more than sufficient to excite. I'd probably be in jail if I had bought the 8! Adaptive cruise control and cooled seats are #1 for me; did not find these in other cars of this category. On "test" track beat out many Mustangs (Mustang club event) - awesome!!!

MOSTLY GREAT CAR--NAVIGATION & MILEAGE SUCKS!!!

For all the features, luxury and styling you get it's still a great car. My issues are: the Navigation System is truly awful. So bad I still have to use my phone. The interface is BAD--should be quicker/more user friendly in order to keep your eyes off the road as minimally as possible. The worst part is--the maps! They are sooo outdated--even when the car was brand new. I have repeatedly asked for updates and am always told there aren't any. From the beginning it needed an update. It also pisses me off that even if I could get one, I have to PAY for them. My car is now 3 years old and still no map updates?? Ridiculous. It also always takes me on a completely different route than the other 2 map apps I use do. And it's never a better choice. I love the heads up display as I can always keep my eyes on the road--thus the navigation was a big selling point for me. I also had an accident where the bottom front of the car was scraped up/damaged pretty badly. (Steering column). The car has never been the same. Interestingly enough--it's NOT the steering! All good there. I have low battery warnings on both fobs (the spare I never use, just tried it b/c I kept getting the warning light--it's obviously the car and not the fobs), the 4 sensors go off randomly (not even near another car...), the Haptic Steering light has come on a few times...also other random ! light comes on for no apparent reason. Some of these issues were happening pre accident, but I feel the car has never been the same since. They should be able to fix their own car CORRECTLY. I wish I could break up these paragraphs but it won't let me, sorry. I have also had excessive revving/no shift to next gear at high speeds. Mileage is horrible in the city--about 13 mpg. The best I have EVER gotten on a long stretch on the interstate is 29 mpg. Oh! Last thing--NO heated steering wheel nor heated backseats!! Apparently only if you buy the 5.0 do you get these. Totally lame on a fully loaded car in this price range. My mid optioned Kia Optima had both!! Also wish it had a folding back seat so larger/longer items could fit.
