I took a trip from central Florida to Pittsburgh. The car loves the highway. I got out of it in Pittsburgh after 14 1/2 hrs of 1 day drive time and didn't feel tired at all. It felt like I had made a 250 mile trip instead of a 1000 mile trip.
The car got 24.5 mpg on the highway parts, and that was running 78-82 most of the way.
I was only 75 miles into the trip and passed a FHP on the side of the road at 78. I realized I had forgotten to turn the detector on, but didn't think he would come after me for only 8 over. Sure enough he pulled out and came up quick. As he caught up to me, he slowly passed, checking the car out. Then he gave me a thumbs up and pulled over to wait for a victim. I also got another thumbs up from a South Carolina trooper.
These things must be rare in Pittsburgh, twice I came back to the car after running into a convenience store to find 3-6 people checking the car out. I didn't see another one while there. I did see a ton of G6's which is something you don't see in Florida. The G6 coupe IMO is fairly nice looking.
