I have a Hobbitat 4. Can't say enough good things about it for car camping. There is a ton of vertical space which is nice in the rain/wet so that you can hang a clothes line and not be tucked right under your stinky socks! Immensely open, lots of windows and a very effective top vent that allows moisture to escape. The one thing that I don't like is that the profile is huge so it tends to blow around a bit in the wind. Not that setting it up correctly won't help, just don't expect to take it out when the wind is blowin'
Set up is easy, as long as you've set up a tent before. The pole sleeves are not full length and the poles don't have the annoying collars that used to get snagged in the sleeves. The fly is sufficient to keep you dry in most circumstances, but again, in a good blow, you'll get wet.
Overall, I like it, I don't love it. It serves it's purpose for me, and does so with style, comfort and efficiency. Much preferred to any Coleman or generic tent I've seen.
