    anyway, most people (including me) have far to little experience with other cars to provide an objective (and so detailed) picture

    It's roomy and comfortable, and very good on the open road. The engine's plenty powerful...but its a bit louder now than when we bought it. The transmission isn't great...its very very clunky, especially from a standing start. The suspension gives quite a nice ride quality, but that makes it a bit wallowy through the bends. On the whole though, not a bad car for the money we paid for it.

    Somehow, I don't think it would rate a 10 for several things, like acceleration, ride, front/rear seat shoulder and hip room, rear leg room and luggage space, among other things.
