I have 26 Hybrid Sport and I notice the windshield washer fluid dripping under the car. It's on the drivers side, where the fluid would gather after the wipers swipe with it and it's dripping by the driver's side front tire. This may be a stupid question but is it supposed to do that? Haven't really noticed it until recently and I don't recall it happening with any other car I had. Is this normal or do I have a leak or potential problem?

My wife had a deposit down on an XLE Cross and we were waiting for it to come in. We test drove one and she liked it. It was an LE only but she wanted the extras with the XLE. I had limited time behind the wheel on the test drive but it seemed like a solid car.

She isn't much into the details of how cars work and all that. I can't say I am either but I do more research than her it's just in my nature. I have seen video reviews on YouTube and posts/comments on Reddit and I was actually getting nervous about this car. A lot of it was negative. It's slow, it's loud, it's this, it's that. Granted we did test drive it but that's not quite the same as owning it for some time and driving daily.

After a bit over a month with the car now let me tell you, I have no idea where these negative comments are coming from. Is it fast? No, but people were really saying it was dangerously slow when merging and accelerating and what not. This is way over the top. This thing accelerates just fine. We test drove a HRV and it seemed worse, but again limited time with a test drive so can't be 100% on that. Is it loud? Maybe a bit but it's not as obnoxious as people make it out to be.

The backseat room is a bit small. It's not too small though, I'm 6'0 and with the seat all the way back, I'm not cramped. It's not something I'd want to sit in for a long trip but if needed to pack more people in, I'm not that uncomfortable, it's decent. I definitely disagree with fitting 5 adults but 4 is fine. I will say I wish it had a volume knob but hey if that's my biggest issue, I'm okay with that. I have a Honda CRV and I definitely don't feel like this is much of a downgrade if at all and when I need to drive it, I like it.

She got cypress green and it's a wonderful color!
