It just seems like a no-compromise machine. It has decent value for the money (especially in lower trims), there are few or no irritants, and it gets decent fuel economy without resorting to crazy expensive technology (hybrids, diesel, etc). I think a diesel would be better, but as it stands, it seems very modern.
I look forward to hearing what ya'll think, though it's not likely in my future given its size and my preference for smaller vehicles.
