After exactly three months I have some mini review about mine.
Like:
1. Handling like a car, quiet ride.
2. Seat positions are higher than regular minivan.
3. Ground clearance is higher: my drive way is pretty steep.
4. Good performance from a little engine.
5. Cross wind assist works great: on a trip to Las Vegas from Orange County, SoCal in a windy weekend I didn't feel like other cars being pushing around in high wind.
6. Air ventilation is very good. Few times in heavy rain with four people I didn't have to use the auto climate control, just simply turn on the fan at front and the whole cabin wasn't foggy at all. Looking around at other vehicles I've seen quite a few struggling with all the moisture built inside while the windows must be closed.
Dislike:
1. The arm rest is making squeaking noise every time I move around my seat with my elbow on it. I'm not heavy at only 170 lbs.
2. Eco Start/Stop not working right.On daily commute a lot of times the engine is still running while waiting at red lights.
3, Rear fan won't stay off too many times like the Eco Start/Stop. Most of the time I'm driving alone so I turn off the rear fan but the setting won't stay off at the next start.
4. "Collision Prevention Assist" didn't switch on. I had three times with error message "Collision Prevention Assist Not Operative". One time I had to turn the engine off and back on at a traffic light to activate it.
5. Poor MPG even I'm driving like a great grandpa: accelerate while still can see the odo counting up one by one or skipping just two at a time. I have a Prius and know how to hypermile but it didn't help much.
6. The rear gate needs to slam down to close. Every time having a car wash I need to tell the worker to re-close the gate even after I've watched them close it normally.
7. Blind spots are terrible like others posted. One time I was lazy turn on the signal to change lane so the beep is not there but luckily I saw the red arrow and avoid hitting the car.
Other than those, I like my van. I might need to get back to the dealer to check that Collision Prevention Assist though.
