Pros from Owners

likeFilled Sheryl S.

Roomy and fast and I like the color no rust. The mileage is high but still runs real well. I like the stereo and the side mirrors defrost option. It has a sunroof. It has heated seats and is very comfortable to sit in for a long period of time.

likeFilled Hannah S.

All wheel drive. Good gas mileage. Spacious and roomy. Good sound system. Fits 5 comfortably. Has good airbag and safety crash system. Access to many radio channels. Auxiliary cord attachment. Good tint on windows. Later model so not too expensive but still modern.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Sheryl S.

High mileage meaning you have to change the oil more often. Also when you use the air conditioner you get less gas mileage. But that is common in any vehicle. There is a little nick in the windshield on the driver's side I never noticed until now.

dislikeFilled Hannah S.

It kind of can hydroplane when it is really wet. It could have better tires. Only can fit a family of five. It is a relatively big car, so you have to be careful especially backing out places. It has all wheel, but nothing made specifically for snow. It can have electrical problems.
