We had borrowed the Greco car seat from some friends for a couple of weeks and the Mesa is so much nicer (albeit at a higher price tag). The installation is incredibly easy. For the latch system, it takes less than 30 seconds. I had to put it in a car with no latches (ie use the seat belt method). Although it took some time to figure it out, the warning systems on the base make sure you install it correctly. The material used for the seat are high quality. The shoulder straps move when adjusting the SIP. This saves a ton of time when fitting the seat for your baby. Lastly, there is an infant insert that can be confusing, but when you figure it out, the infant can be in the seat with little back pressure (which is nice as the bassinet can be cumbersome in some restaurants).
Also, we had some questions as the manual is confusing. Uppababy support was prompt and helpful in their replies.
Unfortunately, there are adapters for Vista's 2013 and earlier models.
Pros:
quick, easy, and safe install
narrow base, can be used with bucket seats
flat base (no need to protect your car seats
high quality fabric (much nicer than other high end models)
easy to adjust the seat (for most adjustments, takes less than a minute)
great customer service
Cons:
expensive
production issues
manual is a little confusing
need an adapter for the Vista
Summary: We are REALLY happy with this seat.
Update:
We have had this seat for a while now. My 2 big complaints deal with the canopy. It does not stay fully up. Also, the canopy did stain when water hit it. I just saw the UB you tube channel that you can wash it, so we will try that. However, we are overall happy with the seat. I did lower it one star because of this update.

It's a very good quality product but quite heavy for moms (father's opinion). The nicest thing about it is that you can use it on a Vista, and the car with or without base.
