    Four month update: I had the front windows tinted, replaced a door panel that had a depression that wouldn't pop up and removed all the dealer decals/emblems. Added a set of WeatherTech mud flaps and a wireless carplay/android auto dongle.

    We just got back from Florida. It has an additional 3,000 miles on it and I can make it from BG to Jax Beach, FL on 2 tanks. We have to stop more often than the Phantom needs fuel. She'll go 440 miles on a tank.

    The bad: It already got a rock chip on the trip to view the eclipse Apr 8th. The good: The rock chip is in the black area below the dash but above the wipers. Until it does some cracking, I'm not going to turn it into my insurance.

    I'm still not sold on the lane keeping but the adaptive cruise is nice until some moron uses my safety gap to cut traffic and it feels like my car slams on the brakes! I had to turn off the lane departure warning. It though every road construction lane extra paint was me veering off the road.

    Over all, it holds a lot more than the wife's HR-V, gets 8MPG worse than her little 4-banger but is way quieter and smoother ride. Waiting for the first oil change interval.
