I spent the majority of the ride with an elbow in my left side and somebody basically coughing on my right shoulder. The idea of riding one of these on a muggy summer day has me thinking that it would be best to wait for one of the ancient trains that can't turn off the heat.
Speaking of, it appears the heaters don't really work. Maybe they do but I couldn't really tell. True today was ungodly cold so maybe I just couldn't feel my legs, but I was trying to feel heat.
The "next stop" display was very handy, but beyond that I'm very disappointed CT went this route. I get that the idea is to load more people in the trains but the cost isn't worth it imo.

I completely agree. I feel squished beside people who are "normal" sized. If there was someone who was overweight they would actually take up two seats. The 3 seat units in the middle of the train have the same amount of space for the seats as the old trains, but use the same squishy seats they do along the ends. I will now avoid these trains if I'm not in a hurry. The generation of trains with the seats facing one way is the best design IMO.
