I just love driving my car!

My car gets great gas mileage around town and on the highway. It drives good. Has space in the rear for lots of things to be stored for a road trip. It is very comfortable to sit and drive even on long road trips. Is very roomy. It is not too big but big enough for me to handle since I am a small person and it is an SUV. I definitely would recommend it.

2006 Isuzu, reliable vehicle, motor mount issues.

2006 Isuzu Ascender... Great family car. Reliable. Good gas mileage. Takes a bit to get up to speed, but drives great. Only complaint is it eats through the motor mounts pretty quickly so if you are replacing yourself, be sure to purchase good quality motor mounts. Other than that, no complaints.

Reliable and great in weather

It's great in any kind of weather. It's a super heavy car so it's perfect since I have to drive in snow. I haven't had too many problems mostly just with the air conditioning and speakers. It's a bit outdated since I don't have a way to listen to satellite radio which is one of the only downsides. Car feels safe to drive. It is a beast on gas however.

The most important thing about the car is it gets good gas mileage.

It is a nice size vehicle. It has plenty of interior room. It is very stylish. It is difficult to read the oil stick.

It has front passenger side air bag, so kids under 12 should not ride up front

Like the size. Like the features. Like the room it has. Hate the space between the front seats, were, if you drop something, you can't get to because the space is too tight

Perfect Seven Seater Ascender

Perfect Family Car. Runs Smooth for being an 06. Power locks & Windows! It also has a Spare tire underneath. With an extra jack in the truck. It fits 7 in Seatbelts. Gas is Gas but for being an 'SUV' the gas isn't that big of a deal. Its reliable at the end of the day.

That it is a gas saver and very low maintenance car.

What I like about my vehicle is that it is very good on gas and has very low maintenance. What I dislike is the size I have a growing family and am in need of more space. Otherwise, I love my car.

I can see ahead of me. I like to be aware of possible dangers. My walker fits in the back, easily.

My vehicle is big, heavy and has a lot of room inside. I consider it to be an SUV. It does use a lot of gas.

It is roomy and can haul a lot and has a towing package on it.

I like that is its 5 passenger and has a sunroof but it has a lot of issues with censors and front end.
