Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

Pros
More ground clearance than a regular wagon,
plenty of space for cargo,
nicely equipped with standard tech features.

Cons
Poky with base four-cylinder,
boring to drive,
engine drones during acceleration thanks to the continuously variable automatic transmission.
