Very disappointed with the mpg as it's much lower than estimated on sticker. Also a frustration in the design as items fall behind the back seat & it's very difficult to retrieve them. The Bridgestone tires on the car have been poor quality & need replaced before 35,000 miles. One tire needed replaced soon after purchase at OUR expense. The back seat cup holders is a joke as it was not made deep enough for a cup to stay when the car is moving. So, all in all, I certainly wish we had the vehicle we wish we had purchased.
