Please see the Road Drive Review video here:

So, to sum up, Pros and Cons"
PROS:
- Very Cool Sport feel/Handling & driving dynamics !
- Pretty cool looking
- Very Lux interior feel, lots of soft touch everywhere.. Nappa leather is awesome soft.
- 2.5L is very decent power & Decent fuel economy.
- 2.5L Turbo is very smooth and good power, and relatively decent in fuel economy, for it's power.
- Forward Braking mitigation system has high score
- Adaptive cruise control system
- IIHS Top Pick for Safety Rating. !!
CONS"
- Lane Keep Assist is sub-par. Competitor models have much better working systems
- Bumpy ride. I'd push dealer to put 17"wheels on it, they'll do it if you push for it.. if you, like me, like the car, but want a comfy ride
- Cargo and little cubby areas are smaller than many in it's class, no tie downs in cargo arera either
- No hands free lift gate
- Memory seat setting doesn't change the side mirrors
- Infotainment system is o.k. to navigate, others are better
- I think it's pricey for it's size
- No paddle shifter.. not really a con, but would of be cool
- Subwoofer in bad spot, which has it's wire run thru the seats and folding armrest leather gets pinched by it.. seems it's hard to move that wire, prolong use of the armrest/cup holders will damage the leather or fabric on it. Top model with subwoofer only.
