So here's my review.
I took my 6 on a trip over the weekend from MD to SC--about 520 mi each way. Mostly highway. I got the avg fuel economy up to about 33mpg. Not sure how accurate it is, but I will say I only used one tank of gas each way. Biiiiig improvement over my CTS. Car drove excellent. The seats, although firm, were comfortable throughout the trip. I have the black leatherette, as I purchased the touring model.
I've read some reviews speaking of the lack of power. My previous car had 304 hp. For me to feel as though im not missing much power says a lot. Passing power was always there on the highway. The downshifts, whether sport shifted or automatic, are soooo smooth. Anytime i needed to pass on the highway I was able to effortlessly. If i was in a rush I would put the car in 4th or 3rd and the power was there. Hard to believe its only around 180 hp in this car. I discovered the kickdown button at the bottom of the gas pedal's travel as well
I've mentioned it before, but I love hitting curves in this car. It grabs the ground and STICKS. I lose confidence and slow down way before the car starts to break. I never loved on/off ramps so much before I got this car lol.
Gripes:
The radio sucks!
Let me clarify. The sound is fine.
However the ipod/pandora connection is mediocre at best. Im hoping its just my car and that I can go get it fixed. However, these are the problems i'm having:
Pandora - Pandora takes a while to connect. Once it does, it'll work for a little before problems start. Either it'll just stop mid-song and say pandora error. I'll give it the benefit of the doubt and say maybe I was riding through an area with no cell service. The other issue is that if I try to skip a song, more often than not, i'll get a pandora error freezing the entire pandora app. To get music to play again, i have to close the app on my phone and restart it.
Ipod - Ipod works ok. However I have 2 issues. One, the iPod always starts at the same song (the first song on your ipod in alphabetical order)no matter what your were playing last. Two, if you cut the radio off while the ipod is playing and cut it back on, you have no ipod connection. I have to disconnect the usb and then plug it back up to access my music. This is very inconvenient.
I hope i have a faulty system and this isnt how they are designed. Please tell me if you guys are having similar problems.
On the other hand, I'll take these problems vs. mechanical issues ANYDAY.
I'm still a happy 2014 6 owner!
