It is a dependable vehicle. Does well in the snow & good gas mileage. An overall good family car. It has dual airbags. People in both the front & the back seats would be comfortable with the way both heat & cool circulate through the car. The car is low maintenance. As long as you do the regular maintenance, the car will run forever. With this being a family car with many safety features, the insurance cost is low.
I prefer an SUV to a car. I sit way too low in the car. This makes difficult to see. It also has tinted windows, which I do not like at all. I will not have them in another car. There is no sunroof in the vehicle, that will be a must in my next vehicle.
