Cons
Pros
Interior Space
It's no luxury vehicle but it is comfortable even for a 6 foot plus driver or passenger on long rides. It also has lots of room in the back with the seats down
Fuel Economy
For a six seating minivan it gets great gas mileage. If you drive it softly and shift in low rpm it will get in the mid 30s on the highway. It doesn't like to go much above seventy though so if you want to save fuel go the speed limit.
Ride and Handling
It turns really well and has low gears in the manual version so it is a pleasure to drive even when you need to tight and fast paced streets in MA
Cons
Cabin Noise
it's a bit noisy on the highway and you can't keep the rear windows open without the fronts open or it makes a excruciating reverberation.
Cost to Maintain
The cost is not that bad but if you do maintenance yourself there are a number of stupid designs that make simple repairs a fair bit more difficult if not impossible.
Power
When empty it takes off like a jack rabbit with the low gear ratios in the manual version but with a few hundred pounds onboard accelerating becomes painful.
Pros
Fuel Economy
Close to 30 on the highway
Cargo Space
Looks small on the outside but you can fit quite a bit in there.
Styling
Sliding side doors. Easy in, easy out
Cons
Power
If you're looking for muscle under the hood, this is not the car for you.
Interior Space
If you're over 6 feet tall, this may feel cramped.
