Melissa and I picked up our 2015 179 today!! We towed in home which was a 50 mile trip, it towed and handled great with our 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan. Handled the hills fine with plenty of power. They have removed the key-less entry and got rid of the door latch. they also made the door hinges stiffer or something so it doesn't bang into the fender.

Going to do some local camping before we head down for our month on Cape Hatteras in October. The increased room is great, we lose the pass thru  and some storage there, but gain a lot of interior storage.

We just picked up our 2015 179 today, the space is awesome. We are taking it out tomorrow for a day to learn about our pod. Congratulations on your new toy.

Troutmama  Did your 179 have the Key-less entry system? I am wondering what run schedule they stopped putting them on the 179? I see some 2015's still have them when you look at pictures at the RV Dealers.
