This is a car to love. Handles well, rides very comfortably, excellent in winter conditions. You can pack alot into this car, whether thats gear or kids or pets, and still feel quite spacious. I find this car more versatile than my husbands truck because I can do so much more with it. By putting down the seats, I have even hauled lumber successfully. Biking, camping, building or just a drive out the lake, this car has been a great friend.
