I love that my vehicle drives like a small car but has a mini SUV feel. It is extremely roomy with lots of space inside for my family and everything I need to pack. The trunk is also just the right size and not too big to make the vehicle seem large. I also love the added benefit of an XM radio option built right into the radio! I love that there is an eco option for driving in town that helps me save more on gas.

My vehicle feels like a decent quality ride, it is smooth and has enough get-go to not feel underpowered yet still has an okay miles per gallon efficiency to match. The ride is quiet enough for my tastes, it is comfortable in the front and rear seats, the trunk space is plenty especially when the back seats are turned down, the look of the car is girly for my tastes, would much prefer a more aerodynamic and futuristic look. The rear of the car is a giant blind spot but with the backup camera it performs just fine. I have not had to take it to the shop yet for any issues. Maintenance costs are fair and expected and I already used synthetic on my cars so no switch there. The vehicle is fun to drive if you don't mind going a little harder on the gas but it definitely hurts MPG and in trying to save money I drive more conservatively. I love the feeling of the brakes on this car in how it doesn't simply jerk to a stop. Handling is smooth and a little sporty. The ride feels somewhat safe, like a 7/10 simply because I'm not sure how cushioned the areas I might be squished from would crumple around my body without squishing me completely. I feel like I have plenty of control over this car.
