Lovin it!

Parked next to the trade in for one last pic.

I hope to hear some good comparisons to your jk. Was yours a diesel? Would be very interested to hear some fuel economy comparisons, same driver and conditions makes it a bit more relevant. And offroad comparison of course!

My JK was a petrol, but so far in the 89km I did running around today in the TH its still above 10L/100 (the JK averaged 11 to 13) and it tells me I still have almost 800km to go before the tank runs out... Will see over the next few days of driving to work how the average looks.

First thing I can say driving home the same roads I have driven the JK over for a while is wow, comfortable! The ride is excellent and the seats are just incredible. The Adaptive Cruise control and lane sense were a bit weird and will take some getting used to but work well. The Sunroof at night is magic. A handbrake that works was a novelty, the fact it can be set to fully automatic is a little weird and its a pain that you cant simply release the handbrake and put the car in neutral to push forward a few inches - that I will definitely miss.

The strangest part I think will be walking into the garage in the morning and seeing it there!

Wow 800 kms for a tank
Must be a glitch. I only get 400 or so to a tank with city driving.
Be curious to know if your sunroof rattles as much as mine

400 or so is my typical range, 70/30 city/freeway. But I've put on all terrains too

Handbrake should manually release if you press the handbrake button (yes, button not a lever) down. The one with an orange light to show brake is applied. I have not tried releasing it in neutral though. Also, auto handbrake won't release automatically unless driver seat belt is buckled...

Same here. We get 380/400 driving around town. I haven't taken it on a long road trip yet to see how that improves things. On flat highway at 100 kmph, it sits in 8th gear with four people in.
