 I am a 48 year old male driver who thinks an SUV is overkill.  I want a versitile vehicle that can pull a utility trailer for trips to the home improvement store, hold a roof carrier for beach trips, and comfortably take the family of four on a trip and still have room for Grandma. I bought this vehicle out of frustration of not being able to find a mini-van without a DVD-entertainment system but still had stuff like ABS.  It has grown on me.  Even though it is the base model, this "car" has all the features I wanted, and after driving it for a couple of years, I can say I still like driving it.  If I had to replace it right now, I'd probably buy another.
