While there's not quite as much zip as I'd like, for a family, garden, heavy-house repair stuff hauler, it's perfect for a suburban environment. It's the only vehicle I've had that fits multiple full-sized car seats properly. You know, the ones that EMTs recommend because the kids they pull from them are still alive. They take up a lot of interior vehicle space. And I can get a whole cubic yard of potting soil in the back. At the same time, it looks nice enough my mother hasn't voiced complaints on its size or my gardening.

I loved this car when I bought it, I love this car now, but in between I've spent about 50% of the original cost of the vehicle on ridiculous repairs. There have been about half a dozen recalls that I was never alerted of and resulted in the car breaking down. The engine has been rebuilt entirely and every part of the suspension replaced. The issues have been extremely frustrating since most required a third and fourth opinion to get the correct diagnosis
