I've been driving the same car (except without drive select) for nearly six months. Driving “easily” (rare hard acceleration) I get about 24mpg on a long highway run, down to 21-22 on mixed town/highway.

I still find the car disappoints in it's limited voice control abilities (I'd like for example to say “PRESET 7″ to choose a radio station – but there's no audio voice control).

It's also annoying how many button presses are needed to do something as simple as turn on random play of the iPod, for example.

On the other hand – the interface looks spectacular and functions extremely well; it's the first car I can easily choose any one of my 4,500+ iPod songs without days of button clicking!
