Only one comment on the tires. I am in Buffalo NY area. I bought snows Blizzak WS-90. I took them off March 4th since its been so warm here. After that we did have two snows. Nothing big but covered roads. Man those stock tires SUCK in snow. Slam brakes you just keep on going and going,. I have used snows on last three vehicles and haven't been on all season in snow for 14 years. So maybe they all suck that bad?? Seem fine on rain BUT i drive slow.

I consider myself border line grandpa driver. And they slip for me all of the time. They are a fairly cheap tire in fairness though. $135 per tire where I live. Im going to replace them with stock size BFGoodrich Terrain Trails. They are not a full blown AT. So not as heavy. And also not too bad on price. Good tire with a little more capability for the crossover size segment vehicles.

Yeah. Pros and cons for sure. But truly, this is what most people need. If I could pick 1 thing to get fixed out of all of my dislikes. It would be the door cubbies. I use the door cubbies a lot. And as I said, they are almost useless storage. That goes for the front and back. And if thats my biggest issue, it tells me, its a pretty good vehicle lol.

RE: Pretty good vehicle = agree 110%. Door cubbies = yes, weird shape. I sometimes take my wallet out of my rear pocket for comfort and would love to be able to tuck it out of sight in the door cubbie but I need to use something like a rag to stuff it in or it falls out of the recess. Who needs cubbies to store that much liquid in other than the gas tank?

Most of the OP's hates are a function of buying the cheapest trim level combined with the hybrid powertrain. You get what you pay for as the old adage goes.

My XLT has the same sound system as the XL. But I managed to dial it in by increasing the Bass and decreasing the Treble. Now it's very good.

I also noticed sound kinda sucks while streaming music, but playing music off a thumb drive through USB sounds a lot better. Still not an amazing sound system by any stretch.
