I love the compactness of this SUV. It is very cheap on gas. I get great gas mileage with this vehicle. I've never had any issues with this vehicle since I've owned it except for changing tires and brakes. The cons though of this SUV is it rusts very badly just under the doors. It's under each door as you open it.

This is a nice looking vehicle that is easy to drive and not too big. It functions well especially as I have to haul loads of yard supplies or stuff to the recycle center. The back seats are super easy to get up and down and holds more than one would think. I love the gray cloth seats. It doesn't show dirt easily and is not hot or cold with temperature changes in the weather. I have had no issues with the SUV and only regular maintenance. It's not a big deal, but the shininess of the paint has remained pretty much the same from it's newer days. Amazingly so. It is a very sturdy vehicle and functions very well. I will say that the CD player is a little touchy, but it still works after all this time as does the radio. I like the rear window wiper and wash. That was a surprise as I had never had it before and thought it would not be something I would so appreciate. I think the heat and air are about average in they way they perform. Maybe for a newer model it would work quicker- in cooling down and heating up, but it certainly is not a problem. There are a few minor things that I have issue with. I don't care for the fabric panels on the doors, at all. They have not held up well. I would like a deeper small shelf on the dash to hold my cell phone. It is a bit top heavy as you take curves, you can't go too fast and since I live in the mountains, so I have to be especially careful with that. All in all, I like this little SUV and it's functionality. It is a good little vehicle and has served me well.
