This SUV drives like a car, which I like. I'm a petite woman and have had issues with Jeep vehicles not really feeling "easy" to drive. I had a 2005 Passat previously and the transition to SUV was easy. I mostly bought it for it's 4Motion capabilities. It's handles really well in the snow. It did have a bit of trouble starting up when it was -20 degrees out, but that is COLD. The cargo space is also decent once you fold the back seats down. Overall I like this vehicle. It gets decent gas mileage, even though it's AWD.

Small but still has plenty of space for passengers. Cargo room is limited. The 2.0t is efficient but can still get going when you need it too with the turbo. It is average on gas. Interior quality is top notch. The engine and transmission are smooth as butter. The seats are a little stiff and driving position isn't the best
