During the first 6 months we owned ours, I put over 22000 miles on her. We live in east Tennessee, but my job was in Arizona, with some trips to California and Utah.

Best "long-haul" vehicle that we have ever owned! Absolutely love it for long trips.

Have a safe trip, and have fun!

Took mine to St. Louis which is about 12 hours from Washington, DC and it was a great drive, a little too nice at times and I had to pull over and wake myself up. I even stopped on the way back and napped in the very comfortable driver's seat for 3 hours

Houston-Santa Fe NM-Winterpark CO-Kansas-OK City-Houston. About 2,600 miles in one week. Big loop, but great. Santa Fe (over a mile high) to Winterpark (ditto) through the Rockies was fantastic. A real driving experience. Loved the passing and climbing ability of this car. Instant response. Oh, it is the manual V6. Oh, I averaged 26.2 MPG.

Wish I could go on a road trip, the longest I can drive on Oahu is about an hour without seeing the same thing.

On my way home right now from fl....the ride is almost too good!!! Have to stay awake! Haha!!!

Drove from South Florida to Atlanta GA...Dunno if the constitutes a "long trip" but it felt pretty long lol. Car was smooth the whole ride! Oh and did I mention 27.6 avg mpg for that trip

I was pretty excited to see that.

Drove from AZ to SC without any problems and every morning when I woke up, my lower back would be sore from the beds, but a few hours in the car and the pain went away. Have taken it to WA state also, google and gps said 24 hour drive, made it in 20, gotta love the car for long trips on road where no one is around for miles and miles

Will be heading back up to WA state next month and was gonna fly, but decided to drive and have some fun time

I drove my V6 from TX to CA about 1300miles and it was smooth sailing the whole way. Even the 6 gets away from you and your doing 100+ withought even feeling it.

Drove from Philly to Orlando and back in a 3 day span. very comfortable way better than my H3. My advice would be to move the seat position from time to time...

silverstreaker88 · 07-15-2011, 12:06 AM

Yea the overall ride was great and i even averaged 28.7 mpg!!!! Had to fill up once to get down there and once to get back....very happy about that
