Just got mine - first impressions
Smaller steering wheel than my Pathfinder made it feel like a sports car.
Coasting & driving below the speed limit = High FE.
49.9 MPG on the way home in rainy, cold conditions, over 15 miles.
Can't even tell when the engine starts, upon starting the ignition.
Deep dashboard gives the impression of a larger car.
Love where the MPH & MPG are displayed.
Tried a little EV mode and was surprised how fast the MPH dips. I can only do it with no one behind me.
Just inflated the Dunlops to 44 PSI.
Need to hook-up my XM Radio next.

congratulations. I have been confused as to where the instant mpg reads ... this is by/under/near the speedometer? I have looked at tons of pictures and cannot tell. I am sure you will be able to get excellent mileage once it breaks in and the weather is more favorable!

Haven't driven the HCH2 in the snow yet. I'll use the Pathfinder for those days

When the dealer started going through all the features, I checked the mileage gauge and it said 16!! I zeroed it and drove home. I only got it up to 39.something doing mostly highway. I'm going to check the tire air pressure tomorrow morning. I bet it's low.

Congrates Chris! I got my 06 mag pearl w/nav on 1/02. Great car! Let me know how you go about getting your XM. I'm curious. I would prefer sirius though, just to listen to Howard ;^)
