Worth knowing
- 2016: owner complaints spike (141, mostly the transmission).
- 2017: owner complaints spike (188, mostly the steering).
- Outward visibility is very limited, and the back seat and trunk are tiny. Insurance on V8 models can be expensive.
The trim we'd park in our garage
Look for the 2LT: it adds heated and ventilated front seats, Bose audio and an 8-inch touchscreen over the 1LT. The 3.6 V6 is the better engine over the 2.0 turbo. The V8 SS is listed separately.
On the test drive
