Sorry, I can't comment. I literally had the 2016 for five minutes before rolling it into a ditch.

As for your other questions: -The infotainment for Canada is the same as the 2013-16's, but it's still better than Cadillac CUE. Yeah, ponder that. -The steering wheel material in the 2017 feels *cheaper* than the earlier models. It's really not good, at all. I'm hoping once it absorbs some oils from human skin it softens. -The car is not underbraked for street use. The pedal lacks the initial bite of the 4-pot Brembos on my ATS, but it stops well. I honestly think it's the tires holding it back. -The lack of automatic unlock/lock is my largest gripe. It's such a simple feature and it blows my mind that they omitted it. |

"The lack of automatic unlock/lock is my largest gripe. It's such a simple feature and it blows my mind that they omitted it."
Well I believe, at least on Made in USA cars, like Ford and GM, the autolock is on auto trans cars only. Examples: My 05 Mustang V-6 auto had it. My 05 Mustang GT manual does not have it. "The car heats up really quickly--I like this." Also car defogs both front and rear very quickly...best of any car I've ever had. Very helpful considering the wipers, at their fastest speed, are not fast enough in heavy rain. Note: I've not driven this car in snowy/icy conditions, therefore don't know how well w/s stays clean in such conditions. Other cars I've had get snow/ice on top left of w/s in such conditions, necessitating stopping the car to flick the left wiper arm to deice itself. I would design cars to have heating elements top of w/s, very few engineers consider this. Well most likely due to cost cutting in most cars. Last edited by ToySub1946; 11-15-2016 at 06:06 PM. |

You can remove the air conditioning system in order to go faster.

The heating system does a great job of defrosting and warming the upper body in really cold temperatures. It however really sucks at warming your feet! Even with the blower just blasting the floor the top of you will be wetting and your feet ice cold. There was a couple of threads on this and we finally figured out that even though the blower is down there it isn't circulating the heat through the whole car. There isn't enough space between the back of the front seats and the front of the back seats to allow much air movement and this prevents the air back there from heating well. The result is cold air from the back keeping your feet frozen for about1/2 an hour of driving.

None of my 7 DSM/Mitsubishis had it. Neither my MTs or the wife's ATs. I hate that feature anyway and would have disabled it if it was on these cars.

LOL. FT86club, where the unexpected can happen and usually does.
Guy says he crashed his car in five minutes and nobody asks what happens. The whole thread just turns into a discussion on auto locking doors.

I think the mention of zero C was enough reason to not question the wrecking 5 mins after delivery.
