I'll be visiting my brother in Roswell, NM starting Thursday. I haven't been out of town yet in this new car, so I am looking forward to seeing how this new car rides on a long trip.
I'm already loving the excellent gas mileage (I'm saving over $150/month in fuel costs). My morning commutes have been a lot more enjoyable as I am able to manuever through traffic much easier.
The hatch allows me to carry a pretty good sized load. So far the biggest was 12 bags of cedar mulch. My daughter likes the folding rear seats, since she can just toss her laptop into the trunk from the backseat when we stop someplace.
I've been surprised by the numerous compliments and questions I get in the parking lots when I go out. They've already exceeded the number I had on my two STs over a three year period. I wasn't interested in anything more than a more economical and fun car to drive, so it is a nice surprise.
