My wife and I like this vehicle and bought it because our family was growing. It was a good choice at the time, and we would make it again, but I think we'd get a model with a few more bells and whistles. The SE trim is basic, but it's not uncomfortable. There have been some rattles and it's not a quiet ride, but it's not terrible for taking trips as a family. We just have to plan ahead and set up our own DVD player for the kid and make sure we pack it efficiently.

This SUV has been a nightmare ever since the warranty expired. One thing and then another is constantly going wrong, from the AC going out to the horn and other electrical components shorting out. It's so bad that I can't even sell it to a private party in good conscience. The rear seats are so high that putting my son's car seat in the back means that we cannot see out the back window. But perhaps the best thing is that everything under the hood is incredibly hard to access, almost as if it were designed to make it impossible to fix it yourself.
