Moosejaw has one review. But, I can tell you some things about Sierra Designs tents in general. They disclose the details of all their materials, and they use very high quality aluminum (no splintering fiberglass), fabric, a stronger floor fabric, no-see-em mesh, and even the way that the seams are stitched is more durable. They also use the highest level of waterproofing of all the high-end tent brands. I also like that they switched to black mesh in the last couple of years. When it is dark and you have the fly off, you can see the stars and you barely know it is there--and this tent in particular has a huge view of the sky!
I can also tell you from looking at the shape and knowing about how similar-shaped tents perform, the pole design will be a no-brainer to set up, compared to similar-sized tents. It will be better in the wind than a standard 2-pole "dome" tent (especially with the fly on). It will breath great, meaning less condensation inside. The rainfly is legitimate (not all car camping tents you can say that), coming all the way down to the ground--turns out rain doesn't always fall straight down! And, the steep sides will make the whole space usable.
One thing I am noticing is the flat spot between the poles on the top. Since that is nothing but mesh underneath, you would have to be really careful to stake and guy the fly out tightly when it rains, otherwise, water may puddle and push the fly against the roof. In a downpour, it could seep through and drip on you through the mesh. But, again, that is just a matter of setting it up nice and tight.
Hope that helps,
Melissa
