The turning radius is like an old Town&Country or Caprice wagon, very large. But you get used to it. I drive the wrong side of the parking lanes in a parking lot so I can make the turn. You don't want to make U turns with less than 43 feet of space.

Figure about $1,000/year for dealer maintenance. Much, much less if you DIY. And this car is a DIY car. Especially little things like fluid flushes and Timing belt.

You will want to buy a folding Torx tool for all of those pesky screws.

Drive it in Comfort mode when your wife is in the car, sport for solo!

And watch out for the cops, please.
