comfortable car but does not winter well
handling and comfort level are excellent, gets decent highway mileage. however it is not built to spend the winter outside. The wipers hide under the hood lip and get iced over. The doors allow ice to enter from the bottom front edge and build up to the point where I need to physically chip it out or risk bending the door edges. The door handles feel a little flimsy and I worry that after a few winters of trying to open frozen shut doors that the handles will not hold up well. It also thinks it's smarter than it is. For example, the backup safety stop doesn't register when the wheel is turning and assumes I am backing straight into traffic even while executing a turn into an open lane. The brakes slam on, leaving me stuck with oncoming traffic approaching. I turn this feature off every time now, every time I start the car. Wish I could permanently turn it off, it is actually more dangerous than helpful. I do like the cruise control, spacing feature works well. We have way too much construction and potholes for the lane assist to be helpful though.
