Took first long trip in my wife's CLE53
Took our first trip in her CLE53 to Ft. Lauderdale from Naples.
Car is fast. Averaged between 70-90 mph. I hit 90 and didn't even realize it.
MPG was 27.
Tried the Assisted Driving for the first time. Worked like a charm.
Had difficult seeing what I was pressing at first (didn't have reading glasses on)
Not a fan of these non haptic buttons. Much prefer actual buttons like in my M340i.
Learned that when I pressed the up arrow on speed, it increased in 5 mph increments.
Hence the 90 mph at first. Later, went at that speed on purpose. Had the radar detector working and it gave me warning at least 2 miles in advance on Alligator Alley.
Smooth ride and quiet for a cabriolet. To bad it was too hot for the top down. AC was frigid.
NAV worked great. Especially the Augmented Video.
Enjoyable first long trip.
Very enjoyable.

Good report. Yah, Friday and yesterday (Monday) they were popping radar most of the way across Alligator Alley. Moreso Friday morning than yesterday morning.
Glad you enjoyed the adventure and were able to figure out a few things.

“Learned that when I pressed the up arrow on speed, it increased in 5 mph increments”
If you hold the button, vs a quick press, it will increase in 1 mph increments
