Seriously, this is the best tent for the money. Can you buy better tents, I'm quite sure you can but you will have to spend easily 2x or 3x as much. Me and my wife took this tent to Grand Canyon for a 4 day backpacking trip, a week long backpacking trip on High Sierra Trail across Sequoia, even used in winter. We also took it to Yosemite and to JTree on a car camping trip even thought it is a little bit small.
We like it over any bigger tents because it is such a breeze to setup (under 3 minutes). If you are on a week long car camping trip it might not matter but if you are doing weekend trip less time playing around with the tent means more time for other fun stuff.
The tent endured high wind (on top of Mt. Whitney), flooding in Yosemite (didn't leak at all even though tent's floor seemed like water bed), crappy weather in Adirondacks ... and couple of years of regular weekend abuse in Gunks.
Ventilation is quite good, no leaks whatsoever, fast to setup, fairly light and quite cheap. Vestibule could be a little bit bigger, as well as it could be a little roomier. It has its minuses (as mentioned in other reviews) but nothing big. Also if you go camping to some of those crowded campgrounds you don't have to worry that somebody will steal your $400 fancy tent ;-).
IMHO: If you don't want to spend $400+ but this one ...
