I've owned many vehicles, but this is one of my favorites. The body styling is definitely polarizing--most people either love it or hate it. I'm one that loves it (obviously, or I wouldn't have purchased it!)... I was intrigued with the body styling when it first came out, so when it came time for a new car (I get bored with my vehicles rather quickly), this was one of the first that I researched. There were others that I researched at the time, but this one won hands-down. I feel in love with it on the test drive, and it was "cool" enough to be a possible hand-me-down for my son when the time comes. The all wheel drive is fantastic. I've traveled the United States in this vehicle, and it handled the mountains in December with ease. I have a lead foot, and the AWD-V handled the curves smoothly at high speeds.
