4 days, 4 people, 20 hours, 1080 miles....

I just finished a 4 day weekend with the family in my new to me 2013 s28. My wife and I, our 20 and 13 year old daughters and luggage for a 4 day weekend all piled into the x1 for our trip from thousand oaks to Santa Rosa. We took the 101 up, thru the city. We took the 5 on the way home. 1080n miles total and 21 hours in the car according to the trip computer.

It was pretty crowded. my wife and I put our seats up pretty far to give the girls some room. I found if I changed my seating position every hour or so, I didn't get quite as fatigued. My wife is an orthopedic mess and never really found a happy place. She needs to be able to recline. The oldest was pretty cramped in back but she made do.

I am VERY happy with gas mileage. I averaged 29 mpg...with a car filled to the gills. on the way home, according to the mileage to empty, I could have gone 475 miles on the tank...that's fantastic!

AS far as the drive...I just don't want anyone in the car with me...any more. As many of you know there are some unbelievable roads around the central 101 and in napa. I was being super mellow, not wanting to upset the backseat passengers on one trip thru a mountain pass. My youngest thought I was driving like a madman. When I told her I was going literally half as fast as I wanted to...her eyes .

Take if from me, if there are fun roads around...save yourself some frustration....do NOT have your family in the car.

All in all...I am so very happy with this car...I was happy before, but after this trip...this thing is the Swiss Army Knifes of cars. the German Auto Knife.

I can't wait to get it to the car wash to get rid of the trip grime and get my beautiful brute back.

head on over to the photo section for some cool pix.
