This is the best fit car for me that I have ever owned. It is nice and roomy ( I am 6'2"). I love that I can just swing my legs out of the car and stand up, most cars are to low and I have to struggle to pull myself up and out. The seats are very comfortable and make long trip much more tolerable. It can accommodate 4 people easily and 6 if I use the jump seats in the 3rd row. The hatchback is great for hauling things that would not fit in a traditional cars trunk. I have been able to haul a lot of construction material and equipment in the rear especially with the second row seat folded down. It has also been very useful hauling large purchased items, such as the emergency generator I needed on short notice during an extended power outage. It has good pick and easily comes up to highway speeds on a freeway on ramp. The winter handling characteristics are excellent. The entertainment center is just ok. Unfortunately it has no external jack for iPod or phone audio playback through the stereo system.

What I like about my car is that it's nostalgic. I had one in 2007 when it came out, and I had to sell it, but I finally got enough money to buy it again. It looks good as new, and I added some of my own upgrades. I drove 200 miles to get it, but it was worth it for me. When I was driving it back, it felt so smooth. It was smoother than any car I ever driven. I experienced some electronic issues after I made some major upgrades on the car, but when it all got resolved, it was perfect again. I brought it a reasonable price off 4,000 dollars cash. I want to keep it that way, so I don't drive it in the winter because of ice. Everything in it is fully functional and was worth all of my money.
