The vehicle is built extremely well. It drives like a car but gives you the feeling of sitting up higher without the feel of a truck. The interior is really nice and easy to keep clean. The engine is great and gets good gas mileage, but it doesn't pick up speed as well as other vehicles. In addition, it doesn't get as good of gas mileage as the maker claims. The standards in the vehicle are very standard. It is worth it to get a higher trim package in order to get a stronger engine and more luxury electronics. The blue tooth in the car works very well, but doesn't work with anything other than talking on a phone. This is extremely disappointing as you must bring a USB plug in order to play music from any electronics. The outside of the vehicle is comparable with other crossover suvs and cleans very nicely/easily. This is a great family vehicle. It can easily accommodate two car seats and fit another person in the back seat. The seats clean extremely well; even milk, crunched in food or cereal. The floor carpets clean better than any car I've ever owned. The car is so roomy, you can fit two adults, two car seats and a Christmas tree without putting anything on the roof or having to tie the trunk shut!

Definitely not a car you can count on to go over 100k miles. Cost us plenty in repairs. Our mechanic recommends selling it asap, though we just put $1,200 into it and paid $8,000 four years ago. The thing I like about it is it's a nice roomy car and heavy/sturdy to drive. It feels safe in the event of an accident. It has plenty of room for my groceries in the hatch. It can also accommodate my family when we want to go somewhere and take one car. Sadly, I do not think I would buy an American made car again due to the engine problems and defects. We are praying the transmition does not go before we sell it. Already needs a complete brake over haul. Fuel is pricey, also!

I purchased this vehicle when I was in college. I went to college out-of-state (four hours away) and lived off campus. I had over a two-hour commute everyday. I put on over 100,000 miles on the car without an issue. It was always reliable and very good in the winter months when we got a lot of snow. I always trusted it.
