 I wanted an AWD/4WD vehicle, but was tired of driving a truck.  I love the vista roof--the safer alternative to a convertible.  I love the acceleration and the ride. The exterior gives it kind of a "mean" appearance and demands a second look from everyone I pass. In different light the Pewter color sometimes looks Silver, baby blue or a pretty pale green.  The 18 inch chrome wheels, Pewter paint, and black leather interior have people staring at this car everywhere I go and I've heard nothing but compliments. A recent 2000 mile road trip produced 30mpg at 45, 27 at 55, and 24-25 at 65-70mph.  Not bad considering some of this was through the PA mountains.  No recalls, rattles or problems.
