Took our first road trip this week w/3.0i, 840 mi. 3 people going down, 4 coming back. Handled very well, good power and pick up. Hard not to excede 75mph. Avg. 23 MPG., Average MPH not accurate. When traveling 75 mph, the computer was registering 45 and climing 1/10 mi at a time. Seats were comfortable but after about 5 hrs, legs of all passengers started to cramp. Full load in back, w/not an inch to spare, but handle the load well. After reaching destination and re starting the car, the A/c unit let out a bad odor (saw a posting on the board about A/C odor). Overall good road warrior but must stop to stretch legs.
