Just a short update on performance. we took her to the Badlands today. It is about 200 miles round trip. Nice day, in the high 40's. Averaged 35+ mpg at 75 on I-90.
The Badlands is a loop from Wall, SD back to I-90 East, about 40 miles. Put her in Sport mode, to include the steering. This changes the whole car, dramatically. It was a great drive, with lots of twists, hills and valley's, plus Big Horn Sheep. You do have to be careful, this car responds now when you hit it in Sport. Paddle shifters are alright, but still a little slow. It actually drove better in full auto. Nice growl from the engine. The weather started to turn and we now have a Winter Weather Advisory for the next two days. But today...here are two photo's:
