Great for long distance travel. Surprising nimble in the snow. Use snow tires and did not get stuck in a Conn blizzard. In Va. we simply wait for the snow to melt, so getting around is not a problem. Out performs many front wheel drive vehicles in the snow.
Car engine is quiet and transmission remarkably smooth.
As Klick and Klack mentioned on one of their Car Talk shows, it is difficult to tell whether the engine is running, and on too many occassions I tried to start the engine when it was running. Absolutely great used car. Let the first owner suffer the depreciation problem. I use synthetic oil and change the oil every 8-10,000 miles though it is rated for 15,000. Tune up at 60,000 means change the spark plugs.
