This car has a pretty solid framework and has the right idea when it comes to a car that a family could drive around in. It has seats for 7 people and I have packed in 7 full sized adults and have had zero issues with performance. It handles all of that weight with ease. the gas mileage is not too bad, it is a truck so that is to be expected. The size makes you feel safe on the road and the handling in different types of weather are fantastic! Only a few minor problems with the car but still something i enjoy.
