"The removable cargo liner is great. You could slop plants, messy dog, messy bike, scuba gear, etc., into the back and not worry about dirtying up the interior. Just remove it and hose it off."
"This is a wagon so I didn’t expect too much with regards to performance handling, but the Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system surprised me with great dynamics during aggressive turns. "
