Drove from Florida to New York and back. On the way there I had 4 adults in the car with luggage in the back. Drove there in a straight shot and got milage well in the 30's. Drove home with 3 people (left my fiance there ) and a ton of gifts and new luggage which fit like a charm in the back over a span of two days.

Had around 1200 miles on the car before I left and I got my fluids changed. I went all synthetic (filter/oil).

And of course it was a....

Onyx Blue SL CVT with all the bells and whistles (had 3 bluetooth phones setup for the trip, all worked great).

damn, I'm in texas and my friend's Onyx Blue SL CVT versa just hit all 1's...as in 5 1's... that's right 11,111 miles already!

still runs like a champ, but I did notice a weird thing with the CVT, it seems that when coming to a somewhat abrupt stop it hangs in gear bringing the RPMs too low for a second making a bit of vibration. Other than that, it's fine and still rattle free. VERY good car for $16k!

Just made my first trip with a full car, too. 500 miles with 4 adults and luggage. I could notice the difference of the added weight, but it was a great trip with no problems. And it sure was nicer driving the V around Charleston's narrow streets than during previous trips in the wife's minivan!
