My gripe on ours was the time to engage. (2014 2.5). Put it in reverse or drive and it seemed like an eternity til everything engaged. Backing out of our driveway with an oncoming car was unnerving.
I sat in the newer ones and the interior is improved ( not that it was bad). It was an awesome car though, overall. Quiet, efficient, capable, and big in the backseat.
