Just an update. I am getting around 23-25mpg in daily use. I live only 3-4 miles from work, and it's a hilly drive. VERY pleased for an AWD SUV doing that! It's not the fastest, but I've yet to be in a bad situation with it. 0-60 in 7.8 seconds isn't shabby really for its intended purpose. A full second faster than the CR-V, Forester 2.5i, or RAV 4. So far, all is well.
By this time, I had already had to replace the front LCA's on my Jeep, and was worrying about the N23 recall, which did indeed affect me.
