Greatest car I have owned
This vehicle is by far the best that I have ever owned. It picks up and goes. It's way faster than I expected it to be and it's very nice interior. The interior is like a luxury car. It has so much room I can help all of my friends when they move. So much room in the inside

They should know I fell off a road and mountain and survived ion Volvo.
I like the color red . It shines bright like a diamond and it makes me happy. I almost got into an accident because i'm super fast, one time I slid off the road but I landed on water and saved.

I don't want to replace it and it is almost 10 years old.
My small wagon is versatile and can haul lots of stuff. It has a nice ride. The one flaw it had was a water leak that kept returning. We redesigned the drain tube and corrected the problem that several dealers could not correct.

It feels like you could do ok if it were in a major accident.
It's a very safe car. Has held up well. Maintenance can get expensive though.
