 Great looking, great to drive, nice feel on the road.  The interior is a couple of steps above the cars in its class like the Honda CRV or Toyota Rav4, very rich feel in fit and finish.  I really like the black exterior with the black/charcoal interior  It adds a touch of masculinity to the car, there is just enough satin chrome to offset all the black.  Performance is far better than I expected, the turbo really adds to the acceleration and feeling of power when you drop the accelerator, very minimal turbo lag, sport mode is really fun and it gets you moving beyond highway speed limits very quick.  The only minor issue that has taken some getting used to is the way the vehicle shifts going up and down steep hills, it just seems to take forever to shift when going up and downshifts a bit too quickly when going down.  I am very pleased I chose the R Line, I like the sport package with the larger wheels, low profile tires and trim.  I just didn't need the sunroof, navigation or some of the other options that the SE and SEL offered at a much higher price.  For me this was the right choice6 months of ownership and in the middle of a New England winter.  The R line is a great looking and  a great performing car, the low profile tires and 19 inch wheels look great but while they work ok with the 4 motion drive they aren't the best performing combination for deep snow.  A narrower tire and wheel would work much better.  That being said, I still would not trade the R line for a SE or SEL.   6 months later and I still love the car.
