It had great leg room, nice amenities. We could fit a lot in the back with the seats folded down, surprising given the lines of the cars design. It was really well done. And no one could beat that power train warranty. Not that we ever needed it. Just, like you said, brakes and oil. Oh, and tires, light bulbs.
