Does the ceramic lining really change the taste?

Yes. The ceramic layer sits between the water and the steel, so water does not pick up the metallic taste or smell plain stainless bottles can give.

Is the lid leak-proof?

RTIC rates the flip-top straw lid as leak-proof when snapped shut, and buyers back that up for bag and backpack use.

How long does it keep drinks cold?

Up to 24 hours with the double-wall vacuum insulation, per RTIC. It is not designed for hot drinks.

Can it go in the dishwasher?

The bottle body is dishwasher safe. The lid goes on the top rack only.

Will it fit my car's cup holder?

The slim body is made to fit most cup holders, though very narrow or oddly shaped ones may not take it.

What sizes does it come in?

It is offered in 16, 20 and 26 fl oz capacities, so you can pick the size that fits your bag or cup holder.
