I like how roomy the car is; I can fold the seats down and fit most of my belongings into it (effective for moving apartments, camping trips, etc.). I like the ability to take it on trails and snow more easily than my previous cars. Gas mileage isn't too shabby, either.

Great in the snow! Great for transporting gear! I have twin babies and have plenty of room for two car seats in the back seat. Both my strollers and my bike trailer easily fit in the back of the car folded up. It handles well in the snow and has enough clearance to get through deep drifts.
