This car eats tires. The all wheel drive may be the suspect. I'm not a hard driver and there is absolutely nothing defective about the alignment, still, the car devours the treadson tires faster than any car I've previously owned.
Overall, I think the car is great for harsh weather. Its all wheel drive system isn't at all intimidated by snow or slippery road conditions.
The interior comfort leave much to be desired, but after a while you tend to get used to it.
This car offers as much as a larger SUV with the convenience of better gas mileage.
Tires can be a problem, but my subaru has done well with tires as long as you buy good ones and rotate on a fairly regular basis. I have 106,--- and it's only my second set. This is a lot of freeway and good amount of city driving.
