Across the road from where Senator Warner used to live when he was married to Elizabeth Taylor. The car drove very well, the noise from the rear tires not enough to bother me, but I'm half-deaf from proximity to too many howitzers in Vietnam. Wife got along OK, too, and the low ride and seats did not bother her bad back. Seats were fine for me, comfortable, supportive. The controls are different from what I've been driving for 8 years (tend to keep cars a long time), and a little hard to get used to, but now OK.

The traction is marvelous, way huge safety factor for most situations. Blew around a BMW on a 2-lane turnpike cloverleaf without approaching the limit.

There is a slight tendency to wander over road imperfections, but not a significant problem. Plenty of horsepower for the highway. The nav system worked well, wife liked the directions better than the one on her car. Easy to exceed the speed limit, and had to be very careful because the roads were crawling with police cars on Memorial Day. Used cruise control a lot.

The gas mileage was good enough, 25.2mph at 74mph much of the trip.

All in all, it was a good first outing. A few photos of the destination in horse country in Gallery. Different angle here:

Nice picture. Good looking car. Sounds like you and the Mrs. had a nice drive.
