3 rows of 2 = seating for 6 - minivan configuration was #1 reason.
Within my budget - the same or much cheaper than other cars with seating for 6 or 7 people.
Expected 5 more miles to the gallon than my old minivan - getting 8 to 11 miles more to a gallon than minivan!
Generally excellant fit and finish.
Hoping it will hold up better than an "American" car.
