Wife and I share a SX

[rack]

She works at home and I am retired so we have no problem sharing our 22 SX prestige. Sold her Edge. THANK GOD FOR DRIVER SETTING!
I turn on auto stop and Cruise backing out the driveway. I got the car mainly for the driver assist. Had a 2018 explorer. The lane holding was like a pingpong ball and would not work until 40mph. This does not pingpong, does much tighter turns and above all with cruise on, lane holding works to 1mph. Get suck in bad interstate traffic here in Houston fairly often. AMAZING, just a finger on the wheel for the nag and the resume button and no petals or turning wheel needed. And with the HUD never have to take my eyes off the road. As safe as it gets.
My wife has never and never will use any of it, even autostop just not to keep her foot on the brake. To her it is all dangerous and unsafe. We keep it on SMART because she does not even know there is a button for that. The result of never using the assist and resume button looky here.
I come back from a day around and my MPG thingy says 21.9
She comes back doing about the same and her MPG thing says 12.4.
And that aint counting all the water bottles, perfumes, sprays, masks, lotions, tissues and crap all over the car and filling the console... And of course, ALWAYS the visor down with the mirror light on.

Count yourself lucky that is all you have to deal with when it comes to your wife driving the car.

So far, mine has damaged two separate garage doors, allowed the garage door internal handle to scrap down the back side of her 2018 Kia Sorento since she didn't pull the car in far enough, but the wheels were not obstructing the infrared sensors, so the door closed (or tried to), ripped one of the OEM roof rack cross bars off (during one of the garage door incidents). Then if I go back even further to her 2008 Sorento, she backed into the side of the garage door opening, scraping her bumper, and breaking her rear left tail light.

She hasn't driven the '22 SXP AWD Telluride yet, and may never drive it. I feel like she would be better off in a car you would take to the demolition derby as her daily driver rather than a $50K vehicle.

My wife has backed over four bikes in the driveway, and has curbed the wheels three times over the years. The first I blame on her MUST HAVING A SPOILER on the trunk.

The adaptive cruise control functions very well. My only gripe is that it doesn't notify with a chime or anything when it's not able to keep you in the lane (green steering wheel). It just releases and hopes that you're paying attention, which I am, which is why I notice when it releases. I don't have an issue with the wife taking the Telluride. She just keeps taking the Model Y-P instead

I know the adaptive cruise was my selling point to myself as well! I said the same thing about i wish it had a warning that it was gonna stop driving.. it is a nice system i use it almost everyday on my way to work!!

Hmmmm.... If I cross the line it gives a good loud buzz. Where I live in Houston lots and lots of construction on the interstates. Problem not the car but the old lines in the road or no lines. My main drag is the big boulevard past NASA, the center island has curb with no lines. Do the right lane of course but MORE WHITE LINES!!
I also noticed that daughter has EX with no HUD. And she seldom if ever uses it. Just that tiny line behind the wheel, where with HUD it is splashed big and bold right there in your field of vision. I also love how they incorporated NAV into the HUD, so simple just an arrow with distance. NO TALKING or screen flashes and confusion like on the main screen.
