I LOVE this tent! It's simple to set up: can be done in the dark via headlamp in 5 min. The three pole design is durable and provides a lot of backbone in high wind. Very waterproof (rained on us for 15hrs straight and never leaked a drop). Two doors and convertible top provide tons of ventilation and star gazing. HUGE vestibule is nice for storage and/or changing. The inside has ample headroom thanks to the single rod construction, and is VERY roomy for 2 but will sleep 3 if need be.

The ONLY thing I don't like about the Viper is it has no zippered ventilation on the fly like my Moss Thunderdome. Although condensation is not a big issue here in the Rocky Mtns, it may be something to consider if you're in more humid climates.

All in all the Quest Viper is an excellent tent for car camping, and, if you're not a weight freak, backpacking as well. The only prob you may have is finding one for sale. I searched long and hard for several months before I found this one on eBay. Retail is around $350 and worth every penny.
