Summary:

People need to seriously consider this car from Japan

Faults:

Nothing.

General Comments:

This car is very well thought out.

It is more fun to drive than the CRV.

Visibility is excellent.

Comfort level, and ease of ingress and egress is wonderful.

The sliding rear doors make it so easy in the garage and parking lots.

The AC is better than the CRV, and the rear AC is great.

The pricing of $20990 with aluminum wheels, CD-MP3 stereo, power windows, power steering, power locks, power mirrors, theater seating, cup holders and compartment galore, front and rear 12v. receptacles, and outside temp. gauge make this a bargain.

I love the new styling, but the front grille isn't my favorite.

I don't normally evaluate this soon, but I'd like people to check out what I think is a SLEEPER.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
