 Driving experience is fun for a crossover AWD vehicle.  Ride is fairly smooth and build quality seems good other than a crackle and pop here and there.  The car has ample power for a 158 hp 4 cylinder with all wheel drive, especially when driven in 3rd.  Has plenty of room in it and versatility. The car has good looks inside and out, and definitely doesn't blend in with the ugly looks of some of it's competitors.  The dash layout is very nice and sporty looking, and is easy on the eyes.
