I wanted something that I wound have to constantly have to put money into to fix it. I also wanted something that was fun and all wheel drive for some fun in the snow. I really enjoy the quality of the parts gone into this car, and also the attention to performance details. The back seat legroom is a bit tight when then is someone big riding shotgun but pretty comfortable. and also the trunk is tighter but that is just me who's previous car was a hatchback.
