It is fun to drive and good for taking many people with you at one time good family car.
I like my car it has good room for 7 passengers. It drives and handles well. It is reliable and easy to drive. It's a little spendy on gas but not to bad

My best vehicle investment. The room is awesome and handling is a breeze.
The leather seat heater is awesome in cold weather. I have had the best luck with this vehicle no problems. I bought my SUV new in 2004, best investment I ever made. Never thought about trading for a newer model. Still going strong. When I trade I would like to find another one. Do not no if they still make them.

It has held its value after all this time with me.
I love my SUV it is great size and gets relatively good gas mileage. It is a great size for me and for me to move all over town and take things places. The sound system is great. The leather interior has held up very well.

Carries the cargo. Carries my people. Very reliable.
I love how much space it has. I love that I can find parts for it. The battery died recently because of some problem but we were able to replace it.

My SUV is amazing I love the way it operates and drives, always been a good car!
My car has been really good I have 187 thousand miles and it has never given me any trouble. I replaced the water pump once had the battery a few times. It pretty good on gas and I can get in it without my back hurting, I need a high seat to get in and out. It drives really well and I love the way the cruise works. I really like all the detail about this SUV.

It's been the best vehicle I've owned.
My boss gave me my vehicle. I love it. I have been able to go 3 times in it. Gone to see my son like 6 times. I can even move my Rv. I have not had any problems at all.
accountCircle Michael B

I like that it is big and I have room for everything. I like the way it looks. I do not like that I have to take it to the mechanic so often.

That even though it's old it still can get me to where I need to go, and is reliable.
I dislike the sun roof because it leaks sometimes.What I like is even though it is 14 years old it still runs good.
