The van is roomy and the "stow-and-go" feature is convenient if you are someone who needs to convert your vehicle from a minivan to a mini cargo van from time to time. It does save on renting trucks to move furniture. However, the way the seats are stored allows for multiple cracks and crevices in the floor of the van. When you have kids, this makes it really hard to clean the crumbs out of the van completely. It is difficult to get passengers in and out the very back of the van, because the middle seats don't move out of the way unless you store them in the floor, which requires you to move the front seats up as far as they will go first. Not convenient when someone is already sitting in one or both. Also, the electronic side doors are nice... When they work appropriately. They don't seem to always sense whether they should shut or open correctly. The back hatch on my particular vehicle was also automatic, until the mechanical arm that lifts and lowers it broke 2 months after purchase. I had to replace the switch that controlled the turn signals immediately after purchase. It isn't good on gas and eats through rotors quickly. The basic SXT model has no DVD player or sunroof, but it does have front and rear climate control. When the rear climate control wants to work, it's nice, but it rarely does what it should.

This van is perfect for driving around teenagers and groups of people. We can fit all the sports equipment in the van easily and quickly by using the automatic trunk open feature. The van has high quality coverings on the seats and I like how easy to clean the material is. This vehicle is practical for a busy family on the go. We can lift up the seats and use the stow-n-go for any extra duffel bags or equipment that we need to fit into the van. The extra storage space is invaluable. We can put the seat down completely into the floor if we need to pick up anything that is large in size. All of the seat rows lay flat for any needed room to carry items. This van is also fuel efficient and gets great gas mileage. I love how smooth it feels when I am driving on the highway, and the car has a smooth transition between gears. I like all of the automatic features on the vehicle, like the trunk and side door open switches. I also like how many of my needed buttons are on the steering wheel. I can turn my radio stations, my volume, cruise control, etc without trying to reach the console. This van also looks nice and I appreciate the style. The inner lights on the inside of the door made my kids say it was a "fancy" car. The only thing missing is that there are no reading lights for the back seat. This would be a great function to add to the vehicle. Otherwise I love the front and rear air control feature, it is nice that the kids can operate and control their temperature themselves.

I like the fact I could haul a lot of stuff and still fit a husband and 2 sons all three over 6 feet and well built. Not fat muscular. The things I don't like. I don't like the way it handles in the winter. I would rather not drive it on snow covered roads. It just doesn't want to take off from stop signs and seems to want to slide easily even with brand new tires. I only had the car a few weeks and the engine started racing out of control. The tac went into the red. I took it to the dealership let them know of course they couldn't find the problem and it didn't do it for them. It has done it for me and others that drove my van. So I just baby it. I don't like the brakes no matter how many sets I put in there. My tires won't like up 100%. I had a 4 wheel alignment done and that garage couldn't get it 100%. My guess the reason my tires don't last, is no one ever gets it to line up. Problem is no one ever told me about it either. I finally ran into a honest man. That is why I took it somewhere else to get serviced. I needed to know what was really going on.
