This is like a sports luxury sedan but with additional practicality and a great view of the road. This was a prime consideration for me. Great looking exterior, beautiful interior - its design can be comparable with higher level makes, such as Porsche. For MPG, this car has a little bit lower than other small-size/mid-size SUVs like Honda CRV (26 mpg) but it's ok when gas prices are reasonable. The technology, maintenance, and reliability are simply amazing and are a bargain when compared to its European counterparts. Fun to drive, buy one!
