I love that it's all-wheel drive, without being an SUV. It's the perfect size for me, able to hold three passengers very comfortably. It also has a nice roomy trunk. I'm a theatrical costume designer. If I don't have passengers, I am able to carry everything I need to drive to a theatre with all the costumes for a play or opera production, while still able to use a car instead of an SUV. It handles so well. We lived in the mountains for the first eight years that I owned it. We were so impressed with how well the all-wheel drive works in the snow, and how well it handled the curves. It also has plenty of torque to get up the steep slopes, or to pass other cars. I drive long distances alone often, and it's actually comfortable for the first eight hours or so, which is much better than most newer rental cars I've tried.

This is the best car I've owned. I've had it for about three years, and it runs great. It gets great gas mileage, and it had low mileage when I purchased it. The one thing I do but I don't like is that my car is a four-cylinder engine.
