Update - I passed 10K km's this week, almost half would be a trip to Florida for the winter. Zero issues and I absolutely love this vehicle, best all rounder I've ever owned! Zero fatigue from those incredible 18 way seats on the long driving days, and it rips and snorts when you're in the mood, and casually cruises when you're not. The confidence it inspires, especially when driving in unfamiliar territory is amazing. The turning radius (I guess because of PTV) really came in handy doing so many fast U-turns in crazy traffic.
A few nit-picks
- Still not in love with the brakes (PSCB's). Ridiculously grabby intermittently at slow speeds, and a little mushy normally. I've learned confidence in them though, it's shocking just how fast they can stop that amount weight when they need to, plus the almost non existent brake dust will make me live with the negatives
- The lag from the gas pedal is terrible, it's not turbo lag, the power is there you just really need to push it excessively to reach it. Definitely considering getting a pedal commander or similar to improve that
- I still love the gentian colour, but it's WAY harder to keep looking good than the sapphire was
I took a look and I'm at 11.9L/100km, I don't know if that's a positive or negative
but that's a good mix of highway and city runabouts and I drive in sport about 95% of the time
I expect I'll be keeping this one for years, I can't think of anything comparable (or coming on the horizon) that would make me even consider for a second replacing it.
