Summary:
Well crafted machine with nice options
Faults:
Brake rotor was warped, and the front seat heater was not working. Dealer repaired both under warranty.
The running boards get easily corroded in the winter.
General Comments:
The performance from the turbo is awesome.
The transmission occasionally shifts to a higher gear in city traffic and lugs.
Even with all the adjustments, I personally find the seats a little uncomfortable.
The shocks are quite stiff like my Volvo, but it never seems as jittery on the bumps.
The SH-AWD is really great, and this thing corners like crazy. The vehicle feels like you will never really push it to its limits, which builds confidence.
The cabin is very nice, and it takes a while to get used to all the buttons.
I personally do not like the heater controls, except the dual climate is great.
Stereo system is unreal.
Storage is adequate, but can be a little tight with two kids and a dog.
We had deep snow last week, and we were able to easily plow through some horrible ruts and deep shifting snow.
