As soon as I drove the car off the lot I decided to take it out of town. I got halfway to my destination (about 20 minutes into my ride) the coolant light came on. When I got into town I had a guy take a look at it and it was a little low. He added some free of charge.
His main concern was a very badly worn belt. He replaced it at cost.
It got me off to a worried start, but this car has been great ever since.
The gas mileage has been fair to poor for a car of it's class. I pretty much expected that when I chose the 3.8 engine.
I expected a little bit more get up and go for the size of the engine. I probably should have pushed it a little while test driving it, but I'm sure you know how it goes with the dealer in the back seat.
Other than those two things I love the car. It has proven comfortable for 4-5 hour long trips and has plenty of room in the trunk for all of my camping gear.
I love being able to turn the traction control off and on, first car I've had where that was an option.
The sound system is great as far as stock systems go. The controls tend to get very warm to the touch if the dash lights are up all the way.
If I were given one wish for the car it would be folding back seats for my trips to home depot. Guess you can't have everything in one package!
The intrigues back seats do fold down, if you pull the handles on the side of the seat.
