Although I enjoy the VERY low fuel costs and spunky performance (Manual 6 speed transmission), I am annoyed with how loud the ambient noise is especially on the highway. I'm sure the winter tires on it have something to do with it, but when I had all-weather tires there was still running noise that is not engine related.

Other than that, it is a fun car to drive, and handles well.

The 4 wheel drive has often come to our rescue when roads get treacherous in the winter. This has been a safe a reliable vehicle with pride of ownership.
