She likes it a lot. She hated the Mytouch/sync in her focus, because it never understood a word she said, So far, this one understands everything she has said to it. she had one issue with phone commands. Every time she said my name, it called her boss. but she later found that I was in her address book as Douglas, not Doug. As soon as she tried Douglas it called me. Her boss's name is Todd, don't ask me why the car got those two names confused

I have not driven it enough to review it yet, She is really liking the programmable seats/mirrors/key fob.

First car we have owned with a push button ignition, we both keep trying to reach for a key to turn it off

After you get used to it, it's one of hardest things to unlearn when driving a different car. Well, not the push button start as much as having to dig a key out of the pocket to unlock the car.

Try moving to a Tesla -- which has "no button start"... Going back to a push button car is odd. I forget to turn my wife's car off about 1/3 of the time -- realize it after I open the door and hear the engine still idling... Another 1/3 of the time, I walk away without locking it too...

How much is the dealership paying you to advertise for them?

Nothing. I'm just too lazy to take their ads off until I get the permanent plates.

Definitely looks better without the front plate, but do not like the stupid holes remaining.

The plate mount was already installed when I first saw the car to test drive it.

2014 must be the year to buy a new car, because many of my coworkers and a few of you guys have splurged on some nice whips.

I'm kinda feeling the pressure of buying a new one myself……
