100,000 Mile or 10 year warranty on transmission. Great color options. Roomy interior/ comfortable ride. Clean body. Fold down seats to expand trunk. Exterior/ roomy trunk/ good gas mileage. Good lighting.
It has all wheel drive, so definitely safe. Because it is an SUV, there's plenty of room and storage. It has a sunroof. It is pretty reliable and has not had any major mechanical issues. There is a roof rack.
These cars have a nice size to them! Very nice build and drive nice! My car is a little older so it has minor problems but still a very nice car! I love the size of it! Very safe cars! I would recommend these cars for a teenager first driving.
It is very comfortable and spacious, and has appeal because it is a crossover. The seats have enough room to fit 5 large people and the windows are not small and restricting. I would definitely recommend this vehicle.
It has great pickup and roomy inside with high seating. And leather seats that are also heated seats. It also has a sunroof and tinted windows. Has lots of storage room when the seat backs are down. Also has a rear plug and a special seat belt for children's car seats.
It has a very smooth ride and never any difficulties with mechanical issues. The interior is superb and the mileage is great. There is sufficient room for cargo and many passengers also. It does not take a lot of fuel so it is energy efficient and saves a lot of money.
Would prefer better dashboard lighting/ would need to update to have back up view on dashboard. The console area could have more. Cup options and the glove compartment could be larger. Perhaps offer leather interior. Stereo speaker in rear.
The gas mileage is not the best, only 18.8 Miles a gallon. If something does go wrong, it is kind of hard to get parts for it because it is a LIMITED trim level. If repairs are needed, the labor can get expensive because it is a LIMITED trim.
Can give some problems here and there. The steering wheel does not have access to the radio. The seats do not go back far enough. No sunroof. Other than that they are pretty nice cars! I bought my car from someone so it is definitely used a little.
While It is spacious, it does not have an exorbitant amount of power behind the throttle when the vehicle is packed full of groceries and people. Thoughts on a solo trip, or with the dogs it is comfortable, a journey to snow capped mountains would be time a formidable trip.
Gas mileage is not very good. The ride can be a bit bumpy. The gas pedal is very sensitive. Because of its age, it does not have Bluetooth or Wi-Fi but you can install a camera and touch screen in the dash to update it. Does not have an aux input either.
I really cannot say anything against this vehicle. It could pick up speed faster when stopped at a red light, however I never see any issues with anything at all. It could possibly have more cargo space for long hauls on trips with the family vacations.
