Fun to drive, but technology is lacking

This is a fun car to drive and has some cool little features like the interior lights, the moon roof, and keyless entry. It doesn't have very good technology for how expensive the car is. We were told the car syncs up with a key to keep the settings of the driver, that doesn't work. Google maps is not an option for apps on the system. The mini connected app doesn't function as intended. Can't wait to turn this car back in.

We bought this in May of 2019 as my wife got a new job that required a lot of driving and we knew her Jeep was not up to the task. As of today it has 82,000 miles. The only time it has been to the dealer was for regular scheduled maintenance and two instances where the Check Engine Light came on. Both times were software issues. The second time took two weeks for them to sort it out. There was nothing wrong with the vehicle. The software was misreading the data and triggered the light. This car is fast. Way faster than you need it to be. It has been a great road car for us as we zip out for weekend getaways. Plenty of room for a two week trip. When driven conservatively, my wife will easily get 38 to 42mpg. It cost her $19 a week before gas prices rose. Now it is about $30 a week. There are trade offs. The battery storage does not leave room for a spare tire. You will have a difficult time finding a shop that will plug a run flat tire. Our extended maintenance plan has a $50 deductible for tire replacement so that helps. An eight gallon gas tank means you must pay attention to your gas stops on a road trip. I would highly encourage installing a fast charger in your garage. The regular charger will take 8-9 hours. As more chargers are installed in our area, we will benefit. Right now we run all our Saturday morning errands in electric mode. Overall it is a fantastic vehicle. Yes the price was a premium, but it offers premium quality in return. I will not talk about the technology because that is so subjective. What others cannot do without, I will not miss. We can do hands free calls, text and navigation so I am content.

This car was just what I was looking for!!! Edmunds got straight to the heart of the search and produced a vehicle well worth the money and way exceeded my expectations!
Worst car I’ve ever driven

I got this car as a rental while my car was getting repaired after a collision, first thing I noticed was the terrible stiff suspension as I left the rental lot, then I tried to accelerate onto the freeway and it eventually got up to speed with great effort. The radio/ infotainment system is a pain to navigate so much so that it has a warning every time you start the car, not to scroll through it while driving. All the options are controlled by a scroll wheel on the console, I had to delete the pandora and Spotify apps off my phone so that the car would stop trying to use them instead of just playing music off iTunes. The seats are not particularly comfortable and the leg room is cramped in the front seats. This car is not good for city driving or sitting in traffic, at freeway speeds it rides ok with cruise control on but don’t try to overtake anybody in a reasonable amount of time. Now for the first world problems Equipped with push button start but not keyless entry so you still need to pull out your keys every time you get in or out of it The Bluetooth cuts out sometimes if you get a notification on your phone, and takes 5-10 seconds to reconnect when you get in. The air conditioning is LOUD, I’ve been driving in temps around 70F and the radio has to be at about 80% to here it over the fans on medium speed. If the AC is on full blast the volume has to be at max to kinda hear it. The only thing louder than the AC is the turn signal click The car has no navigation or apple carplay or android auto support Avoid renting this car. DON’T BUY IT there are plenty better cars for cheaper

Only had the car a few days. Might have made the mistake of not buying the S model. Seems a bit gutless
