I like that the car looks modern. It isn't too curvy or boxy. It is very comfortable to drive, especially if you are a shorter person. It has plenty of room to carry large items. It is very easy to put the seats down, allowing you to haul even more. I haven't had to take it in for repairs very often. The gas mileage is great. I can often go almost a month without refueling. So far my only maintenance costs have been for the mileage check-ups.
