    Excellent Road Trip car

    This is my favorite car. Gets excellent mileage since it’s diesel, has a very comfortable ride & adjustable seats, has good air conditioning & heating, good sound system. It has been a reliable car in the 3 years I’ve owned it. It also has XDrive so is good in snow.
