  1. I have the 2.0 I4 eco boost  and have been pleasantly surprised with its performance . Have found it adequate and responsive under all my driving needs.

    The only other options I got besides the Tech and Driver Assist packages were the cargo utility package and the Iced Mocha premium colorant paint job.

    As far as mileage, I currently have just over 6700 miles and getting 25 to 26 MPG on average, lowest tank has been 23.8 MPG and the highest 31.2 MPG). Most of my driving has been local. I did take one road trip of 885 miles and the mileage was 27.9 MPG. All mileages, are actual, not car computer reporting which is generally about 1 MPG higher than actual.

    I am very pleased with my Nautilus. Really like the drive comfort and quiet ride.

    Mine has done all but the Sirius radio. Worse for me is bluetooth restarts sporadically sometimes 3 times in a 15 minute drive sometimes never.

    I have noticed the same blue tooth restart issue on my Nautilus. I have found that if I place either my phone or the key fob in one of the cup holders the problem goes away. I usually have both of them in the same front pants pocket.

     

     

     

  3. Agree with all that the remotes are grossly oversized. With today's technology they should be half to quarter the present size. They should have a finger print scanner interface to activate them when wanted. This would eliminate a lot of inadvertent alarms and window openings from inadvertent button activation while in  your pocket.

    The  Lincoln Way app on my phone allows me to lock/unlock and remote start the car. Why not one more option to use it as the key and eliminate the need to carry the bulky remote. My phone uses face recognition and iris scan to unlock it which should;d provide the necessary security.

    Well, I learned to drive in full-size pickup by backing the boat trailer down the ramp when I was 14. :) 

    I also learned to drive at age14 in a dump truck. It was my grandfather's truck used for trash pick-up in our town. When full, we (I) drove to a ravine in the "country" and dumped the load in the ravine. We then got out of the truck with our 22 rifles and shot at the rats in the ravine. This area in my old home town is now a subdivision in the expanded city limits. I often wonder if the people living there know they are located over an old garbage dump!

     

    And by the way, this was not in Arkansas where I now reside, it was in Illinois.
