Great features but over priced based on the mileage !Dec 28, 2020

Fun, enjoyable, practical, small(ish) SUV. Plenty of power from the 3.7 engine and decent handling. Good ride on highway and off road. Plenty of storage on rooftop for bikes and skis. Throw your dirty sox and muddy clothes in the top bin. Cover your cuts with the first aid kit. Seats can be a little tough after a while and limited quality plastics that can scratch easily. Great sound system in the rockford fosgate with plenty of boom for tailgating. Overall a great car. Have had a for 4 years/50k without any issues. Oct 01, 2012

This car has been VERY reliable and has never needed to go into the shop for anything except routine maintenance and oil changes. Decent gas mileage for an SUV 18-20 on average. Plenty of storage room in back and on top!!Jun 12, 2012
