I haven’t had the vehicle very long so I can’t really give a completely fair review. I like the way it drives. It has a lot of convenient features like phone controls on the steering wheel. There are many features that I haven’t had time to evaluate. This is a pre-owned vehicle with low mileage. I purchased the extended warranty as advised by the dealership. I am hoping to become more familiar with it as I drive it.Aug 08, 2023
