Hatchback feature is great compromise between sedan and wagon. No sedan comes anywhere close to the Maxx in cargo carrying capability!
The depreciation was huge, making it a good value for a used car purchase (when compared to at least average reliability).
Rear seat legroom beyond anything you would expect in a midsize sedan/hatch/wagon. Plus, the seats slide up to 7" to maximize either rear seat legroom or cargo capability.
Amazing fuel economy for a mid-sized peppy V6 engine. Good compromise of more than adequate power and well-above average fuel economy. Reviewers have noted the tranny is tweaked to favour fuel economy over towing ability -- perfect for most drivers.
