I've had this car for 5 1/2 years and found it very reliable. No major problems, although the few repairs have been rather expensive. More comfortable than my last car – a Volvo wagon. Really good in snow, without winter tires. Great heater. Excellent clearance for back roads. Lots of storage space, especially with one or both rear seat sections folded down. My only beef is the poor rear visibility that makes backing up difficult.
