There is not much exceptional about this vehicle and there are not any huge negatives either. Overall this is an average vehicle. We have not had many reliability or functionality issues with this vehicle, however the air conditioner has had to be repaired more than once. We also had another issue with a wheel bearing that had to be replaced. Gas mileage on this vehicle is good and the eco-boost functionality allows you to increase gas mileage although the increase you get from the eco-boost is very minimal. It comes with all wheel drive which is nice and it handles very nicely in the snow. The interior is nice and the seats specifically have a very nice look to them that makes the inside of the car seem nicer than other vehicles in the same class. The gas tank size, handling, road noise, speaker performance, comfort, and handling are all average. The four cylinder engine does not have much pep and often leaves you wanting more when merging onto the highway and passing at full speeds. When the cruise control is set, the engine frequently has to downshift when going up hills just to maintain speed. Overall the engine is weak. The seats fold down in the back to allow you to haul larger items and it's about what you would expect from a vehicle this size. Some of the items that are featured on the menu display are nice including tire inflation monitoring on all four tires, average fuel economy, instantaneous fuel economy, and distance until empty. These are all very helpful menu items. There are multiple storage locations in the front including the glove box, above the radio, in the doors and between the two front seats. The heating and cooling function adequately, however there is not multiple settings or controls for the front and back or the driver and passenger. The height of the car makes it easy to get in and out of and is also a nice height for getting children in and out of. While this is an SUV, it may appear to some that it looks more like a van. My father still refers to this as a van when he sees it.

I liked how my vehicle looks and the fact that it is good on gas. It also came with OnStar and serious xm radio. The biggest concern I have is that one day the battery died while it was still in warranty. I found out this car doe not have a standard battery that would be easy to get. After the battery was fixed the car lost power on time in the middle of the road and stopped suddenly while I was driving. Over all its been a good car however I have concerns about its safety due to power issues.
