It was pretty boring, in a good way. I let the lane centering and adaptive cruise control do all the work! Pretty interesting watching it do its thing, only worrying about changing lanes and keeping a hand on the wheel.
Snow disables the whole thing. It was snowing this afternoon as I was driving and the buildup on the front bumper and grill caused the sensors to become blocked. I can only assume that is where the sensors are located, I'll have to check the manual for specifcs. The first thing that happened was the adaptive cruise control did not slow as I approached a slower vehicle from behind. Once I changed lanes and the senors could not detect the lane edges, a warning popped up saying the systems were not available and to check the manual. The snow wasn't very heavy, the roads were wet, but not becoming covered, and traffic was light. It wasn't a huge issue to drive the remaining 30 mins without cruise.
The hard plastic steering wheel feels rough in my hand. I ended up getting a cheap cover for now. It feels like it needs a good sanding to smooth it down!
In wet conditions on salted/sanded roads, the rear window becomes difficult to see through. The buildup on it is pretty bad. Coming from a super cab F150, I was surprised how bad it got. I saw there are spoiler options, maybe one of those would improve the airflow over the backend to keep it cleaner? Or maybe rear mudflaps? Not sure.
Stock windshield wipers keep the windshield nice and clean! Rear one does an ok job.
Wireless apple car play would be superb.
It handles amazingly, the ride is nice and stable, the auto environment keeps it comfortable. Hands down the best time driving I've had.
