Great Car Camping Tent
Likes
This tent is excellent for a car camping scenario. It's very durable material and well made. It's perfect for a couple who want a roomy tent. It's heavy, but no one is hauling this thing very far, hopefully. I camp on Assateague often, and this tent, as well as my other Marmot, holds up extremely well in high winds, as long as you take advantage of all the guy out points. The Halo poles of this tent really pull out the tent body, creating a very roomy interior and significantly improved its wind resistance. Although the height isn't enough to accommodate standing, it feels quite spacious.
Dislikes
With my smaller Marmot Tungston 3P, set up is a breeze, but Marmot opted not to color code this fly with the correlating buckles. As a result, it's a pain because the two doors are different and cannot be interchanged. Additionally, one of the doors can be staked up and used as a sunshade if you purchase additional poles. But, this door is also frustrating to use if not positioned like a shade. I prefer to use the other door as my main because the opposite gets stuck with each use. The little flap to shield the zipper from rain gets stuck in the zipper at least 2-4 times, every time. Despite these frustrations, it is an excellent tent for car camping.

Excellent family tent

This remarkably spacious tent is perfect for family car camping outings. Plenty of room for all your gear, the kids and the dog with multiple exits and large vestibules. Feels very sturdy with high quality materials to stand up to family usage for multiple trips.

Solid Tent w/ Flaws
Likes
Roomy and well ventilated with nice large entries and usable awning on the fly. Meaty floor, not as thin as other tents i own. Still use a footprint/tarp though. This tent is really the perfect 'Goldilocks' size. Not as big as my 6 person Silver Canyon and not as cramped in height as my limelight 3p. I am excited to use this again and as always, Backcountryedge.com came through with a speedy delivery and great service. Going 4 star on this tent for now. If anything happens positive or negative i will update it.

QA at the factory. Some of the threads were pulling out around the entry zippers. The fly, even though it kept us dry, felt like it didn't quite fit. I had it guyed out nicely and the velcro attach points all secure but the water still pooled up just about the halo and vestibule area, as if it was miss-sized. I had to tap it now and then to make sure the water puddle rolled off the fly. I am overall happy and not to worried as Marmot has a pretty solid lifetime warranty for their products.
