Favorite feature: |
The adjustable back area. |
Least favorite feature: |
Rear windows - Air conditioner circulation to back seats is weak, windows should open more. |
Advice to buyer: |
If you always have more than 2 passengers, or don't really need to lug more than groceries, this might not be right for you. |
Detailed review: |
Has many great features, and plenty of unique (aka awkward) features as well. I like the handling, the quick throttle starting up, the headroom is huge - everyone who sits in back feels like a king! The adjustable storage in back is perfect for trucking boxes and cabinets, lots of space.
Things to deal with: doors only open front first, with seatbelt unhooked, which can be tiresome when dropping friends off. Back doors close hard, whereas front doors seem to not shut tight enough (although they do). Rearview mirror is too small, and rear middle brake light is in the way of sight. (OK, I'm tall, but still!) Center console between seats seems unfinished - indeed, I ordered a third-party arm rest/container that fits in and works well enough. |
