Lessee....
It's my wife's favorite out of all the vehicles we've had.
We can both adjust things so that it's completely comfortable for either of
us to operate (I'm 15" taller than she is...my head almost touches the
headliner, but not quite.) The seatbelt hits her right- doesn't saw into her
neck.
She likes that the step into the sliding door area isn't too high (for a
van).
She feels she's sitting up high and can see well all around it.
The kids can see out of it well.
It's actually easier for her to manuever accurately sitting over the wheels.
We can fit three kids and their associated junk into it and still get two
week's worth of groceries and two week's worth of household stuff in it at
one shot.
It drives like a car- she feels more confident with it.
The A/C goes all through the vehicle- a must for the kids in this climate.
She can find it in a parking lot.
We're not making payments.
Insurance is cheap.
She's the only one in her groups that has one... it's funny to catch some
SUV or mini-van driver looking into the thing, making mental calculations of
their payments, insurance, gas- and wondering why there's so much more room
there than they have. Then they usually mutter something about having
airbags.

Cya,
Robert
