I could definitely see the wife driving one of these. The little 1.6L Turbo was pretty fun, even with 4 Adults in the car. I had no problem merging, speeding up and speeding down around Orange County. My only complaint was Ford’s infotainment still isn’t up to snuff for 2016.

It was much better than the base Cherokee I drove the week before. That had a tough time hitting 45 with 2 adults.

I drove 4 adults including myself around in my fiancee’s Impreza. It’s never going to be a quick car, and a bit thrashy while the CVT pegs the RPM at 4k during acceleration, but I’ll be damned if it’s not competent in getting out of its own way.

I have my wife in an MKC. More or less a leather and wood wrapped version of this with the 2.0T. I really dig it. Comfortable, smooth, quiet inside. I fully support the idea. I do like the infotainment layout, but that’s just my tastes

I really like the 3.5 Eco in the F150 as well. I haven't been let down by an eco yet. And the infotainment screen kept losing connection with my phone through USB. It was weird.

ah, that is odd! However we use the bluetooth for music and what not more than anything so that may be a common problem, but we never see it

That could be. 99% of the time I connect with bluetooth but my phone was low so i needed to charge it as well.
