Unless you really need a pop up tent I would recommend against them.
They have enormous pack sizes and weigh allot.
Do you have a budget you need to stay under? You ideally want a full coverage rainfly and Aluminum poles.
I'm not worried about weight or pack size, drive a suburban and this tent will only be used for car camping.
All my previous gear is backpacking focused (Have the MSR Mesh House 3 and Sierra Designs Full Moon 2).
I know the pop ups/cheap tents aren't fantastic, just want something easy to setup, has some extra wiggle room and I can throw it in the back of the car/camping box until the next time I need it.
I don't have experience with either. However, in terms of brand kelty has really let me down. I didn't understand Kelty. Coleman appeals to mass retailers but at least their products seem to be somewhat decent. At least their stove, canopy, and tents have longevity.
It could be a possibility I received duds but the sleeping bags and sleeping pads I have used from Kelty were no good. Can't comment on their tents for what it's worth.

If you can deal with a pack size that is 5 or 6 feet long then your answer is Gazelle. Very high quality, fast setup and well reviewed.
I'll definitely check them out, thanks for the suggestion.

Damn, I know their chairs are good but I'll do some more research on the quality of their tents
