LikeThe automatic light control feature prevents me from driving without lights at night. GripeLights automatically turn on in daylight while driving in shade, making the driver behind me think I hit the brakes. LikeAll wheel drive at my disposal for Michigan winters.GripeTires wear out quickly. OverallBest car I ever had, and I've had six.

In summary...Likes:- It looks cool, and not everyone drives one. Around here, the unpopularity gives it quite the "head-turning" factor.- Comfortable, roomy interior- The gauges! And all that red backlighting!- Fuel economy - not as good as the Prius I'm drooling over, but still darn good. - Excellent (IMHO) sound system w/ moon & tunes package- Visibility (with the exception of the rear quarters)- 115VAC outlet, 12V outlet in console- The auto-dimming mirror rocks (well, I added that myself, but anyway...)- Handles great, smooth rideDislikes:- Now going into winter, *rattle* *rattle* *rattle* *rattle* *rattle* - Paint could be much better (especially the front bumper)- Seats become stained even when you spill water on them
