Heat wave this weekend into next week, so I dont know how much I'll be going out. Stay cool out there!

Ours is averaging 29.5 mpg so we're in the same ballpark. Like you I'm very surprised and impressed with the mileage. Keep up the posts!

Rolled 7k this weekend.

Had my free oil change done at 6800 miles as we are taking another road trip this week.

Still averaging 29mpg on highway trips, with i-stop off.

Couple things to note:
-while wind noise inside the car seems minimal, when I call my fiance while on the road, she complains that she can hear wind noise prominently on her end. Havent received that feedback from anyone else, however she's usually got airpods in...maybe its amplifying it in her ears?

-the more aggressive you take off from a stop, the smoother the 1-2 shift is. The short gearing and the wet clutch really appreciate a more aggressive take-off IMO

-i wish the front seats had thigh extenders

While waiting on my oil change at a dealership in NE OH before heading back to Louisville, KY yesterday...

Behind this guy for a while...

The pups love a good roadtrip...

Another road trip in the books for the better halfs bridal shower. Came back with more than we left with and just under 9k miles on the clock now! Averaged 27mpg on the trip both ways, from Louisville to Baltimore and back loaded up with the 3 pups, luggage for a week, etc.

Love these updates...How did it handle the load and that rack extension on the back. Did that affect handling, noise levels etc?
