Best car I've ever had.
I have the Dynamic model and it’s far better that the two thousand fourteen S sixty we traded in. Better spectacle, much better steering feel and very supportive seats. That “S” (sport) function is one of the best thi. Read Total Review

What you should get in your warranty can be confusing. Make sure you are informed.
Warranties Explained
Bumper-to-Bumper
Often called a basic warranty or new-vehicle warranty, a bumper-to-bumper policy covers components like air conditioning, audio systems, vehicle sensors, fuel systems and major electrical components. Most policies exclude regular maintenance like fluid top offs and oil switches, but a few brands have separate free-maintenance provisions, and those that do suggest them is leisurely rising. Bumper-to-bumper warranties typically expire swifter than powertrain warranties.
Powertrain
Don’t be misled a 10-year or 100,000-mile powertrain warranty doesn’t promise a decade of free repairs for your car. It typically covers just the engine and transmission, along with any other moving parts that lead to the wheels, like the driveshaft and constant velocity joints. Some automakers also bundle seat belts and airbags into their powertrain warranties. With a few exceptions, powertrain warranties don’t cover regular maintenance like engine tuneups and tire rotations.
Roadside Assistance
Some automakers include roadside assistance with their bumper-to-bumper or powertrain warranties, while others have separate policies. These programs cover anything from flat-tire switches and locksmith services to jump-starts and towing. Few reimburse incidental costs like motel rooms (if you have to wait for repairs).
Free Scheduled Maintenance
Some automakers include free scheduled maintenance for items such as oil switches, air filters and tire rotations. Some include consumables including brake pads and windshield wipers; others do not. They are typically for the very first duo of years of ownership of a fresh car.
