Anyone out there going on a year with the 04 Max?

Am curious to know the following?

1 - Overall Satisfaction (1 - 5) 5 is high

2 - How is it holding up?

3 - Is the suede/felt like material on the interior holding up? Same for the metal-look center console?

4 - Approx MPG and your driving habits (lead foot, gunner, etc)

5 - If you got the Skyview - do you wish you would have got a sunroof

6 - Do you actually use the heated stearing wheel option?

Thanks.........

 

1 - I say 4
2 - pretty good
3 - good, I actually like that suede/felt like material, metal-look center console
kinda look cheap to me
4 - about 20 mpg for me...most city driving
5 - i got a sunroof
6 - I use it almost everyday...still cold here. it is my favorite option!!

 

1 - 4, could be 5 but that grille...
2 - 5
3 - 5, 4
4 - 22 lead foot
5 - n/a
6 - well and often

 

1. 4.5
2. 4.5
3. Suede is great, I love it! The metal on the other hand it OK, It easily scratches though.
4. heavy foot - 17-18mpg. Much better Hwy economy.
5. I like the standard skyview. I've had moonroof before and like it also, however I didn't use that much (cold weather). I mainly got the skyview because it was standard, it was unique, and the back set passengers love it!
6. The heated steering wheel is a blessing. I used that feature 3X more than the heated seats. In the cold it's the first thing I use, especially during warm-ups. It heats up in no time!

 

1. 4
2. Great!
3. Pretty well
4. 23-25 (lead foot sometimes, but usually easy)
5. Have sunroof.
6. All the time this winter. Love it. Love it. Love it.

1 - 4
2 - 4 (Would be 5 but I had to take it in for service a few months ago because a lot of stuff stopped working due to a wiring problem behind the steering wheel)
3 - Very happy with all the materials
4 - My trip computer on my navi screen tells me 13.4mpg, and since I drive like a crazy person, I'm going to assume that is right. Whip corners, gun it on straightaways, I'm kinda rough on it, but I just can't help it :/ I mostly drive it in the city though, barely ever hwy miles, which doesn't help with mpg at all, since it's all stop and go... And when I go, I go hard, everytime... Had it for 9 months and only about 4300 miles on it I think, barely drive her, nowhere to go :P
5 - Have sunroof
6 - I can't begin to say enough about the heated steering wheel... I will never buy another car without it. It heats up in like 30 seconds, and it's just amazing.

 

1. 4.5 to 5 This is the first car that I have had in a long time, that I am not ready to trade in after 11 months.
2. All in all, it is doing well. I had to have the dash cluster replaced, I hear the rattle when someone is in the back seat, and I have a strange noise coming from under the hood that I need to have looked at on Friday
3. No issues with the suede

4. I average 24, but I drive 80%+ on the highway, and I do have a lead foot.

5. Got the sunroof, didn't want it, but I hated the skyview

6. I live in Phoenix, so not often, but I did try it a few times this winter.

 

1) 5 "It's been 1 year + 1 month now and I still love this car. Best one I've ever owned. My previous auto was a 98 Camry"

2) Dirty Nav that was cleaned, uneven exhaust adjusted, absolutely no problems.

3) Yep and actually quite easy to clean

4) So far holding steady at 26.8 MPG 90% Highway 10% City

5) Nope love the skyview, adds alot of character and I still get ton of compliments.

6) Yes there were times in so cal that the temp dipped below 40 degrees

 

1 - 5, I love my MAX it roxz...

2 - Great! Added my first performance mods and again - it roxz!

3 - YES / YES

4 - I don't know, I guess about standard and newly converted lead foot with performance mods.

5 - Like the Skyview...

6 - NO - I live in So Cal...

 

1 - 5 !!! I went from a 96' Dodge Avenger to this.

2 - No problems at all so far, nothing but
compliments and people telling me "Aw man you
got my car"

3 - YES, no issues

4 - Lead foot primarily, but I gun it at LEAST 3
times a day, feels kinda like letting your Pit Bull
bite the neighbor every now and then

5 - Kinda warm out when I bought it so no need yet
