A coworker and I took one of these to Springfield, Missouri for a conference this fall. It was very comfortable and roomy.
We also appreciated the auxiliary audio input in the center console – we could plug in our iPods and laptops and listen to good music the whole way.
Of course, it was also nice to go more than 400 miles on less than 10 gallons of gas!
