Favorite feature: |
very functional; good fuel economy |
Least favorite feature: |
underbody spoilers aren't necessary and reduce ground clearance; dashboard displays fade in strong sunlight |
Advice to buyer: |
the XR seems to be the best value; while we got the AWD |
Detailed review: |
My wife and duaghter call the vehicle 'Snowball', because its Superwhite. It comes eqipped with almost everything we want, and more importantly comes without the things we didn't want. I liked how functional the car is; we have the all-wheel drive capability of a SUV, the room of a station wagon and the fuel economy of a sedan. The looks aren't great, but they grow on you. We would have liked a little more power with the engine, but we understand the necessary trad-off for better milage. The buying experience while not great, was fair. |
