My sis bought a new one this year and I have had ample opportunity to ride in it with her. She is a Nascar nut and has massaged the car a few times. Surprising pick-up and handles well. You drive it, not the other way around. She seems very pleased with the fuel rating so far. Seating seemed to be comfortable for medium trips but look forward to an extended one for better comparison. I like the look of the new 2013,s better but still not to hard on the eyes. Overall it seems to be a very nice vehicle.
