This car is one of the best cars I have ever had. It drives great in the snow and I have never had a problem with it. There has been no technical difficulties with the car and it has been very reliable. I appreciate that the safety of the car and bought it so that I can drive my family around without having to worry about safety during an accident.

We bought this car when it was a year old. I really liked the fact that it had a sun roof, as I had never had one before. It is also a hatch-back model with a fold down seat that makes for a very roomy interior, especially for hauling things. I have carried 15 bags of mulch in the back seat. Also, when my wife and I were moving, we were able to fit all 3 of our cats in their carriers, plus litter box in the back with the seat down. We have had this car since we bought it in 2010. The maintenance has been minimal, the usual oil changes and new sets of tires and windshield wipers. We just now have 65,000 miles on it and are due for its first big tune up. The only downside to the tune up is that it will cost upwards of $1000 at the dealer and $600 elsewhere. A good chunk of change. But still considering we have not put any major money into it in 9 years, I think we have come out ahead. The sound system works great, and consists of radio and DVD player. I also like the display that gives you the kind of mileage you are getting on road trips and about town. The seats are heated, which was great when we were living in North Carolina in the wintertime. I also like the size of this car. It is smaller than the Forester and the Outbacks, which makes easy parking access and maneuverability in small areas. The cruise control is a dream for having on long road trips. The car also gets pretty decent gas mileage at about 32 hwy and 29 in town. I would recommend this car to anyone who wants a dependable, comfortable, solid car without too many bells and whistles to breakdown.
