 I love driving this car - whether it's 
just to the store or on a 300 mile 
vacation.  This is my first AWD and I 
now swear by it for the best traction 
and overall feeling of safety.  
However the problems with the engine 
and catalytic convertor, combined with 
the cost of maintenance, sour the 
experience.  After three years of 
ownership, I've replaced the cat three 
times.  The engine work is another 
nightmare altogether - suffice to say 
it cost me nearly $5k. I still love 
the car in spite of all that.
