I felt that the 3.7L was underpowered for the vehicle. It held speed OK but it took far longer getting UP TO speed than I would have liked. The lack of power seats was also surprising since I have grown accustomed to having them in almost everything I drive.
For a few days, it wasn't a bad vehicle, but as equipped and lacking the power seats, I would not want to own one. Cannot speak to backseat comfort since it was only me in the vehicle at all times...oh and MPG was about what I expected- I only pulled 18-19 but I also spent A LOT of time running 75 or so (occasionally more depending on flow of traffic- I saw very little of the expected traffic enforcement), which I know probably cost me 2-3 miles per gallon.
