I owned the previous version of this SUV and loved it so much I bought the newer model. The current model drives like a much smaller care, with tight handling and a very responsive steering. The build quality is second to none, with everything working as it should. The dashboard is a little cluttered and confusing - more so than the previous model - but everything has a solid feel to it. Overall, gas mileage is okay, but the car does feel heavy at times, contributing to the somewhat poor fuel consumption. As mentioned, and despite a very powerful engine (5.5L), the car does feel a little underpowered. However, the transmission is the best I have ever experienced - I barely feel the gear shifting. In sum, a great vehicle that could only be improved with better gas mileage.

The car is very well-controllable and reliable. I've driven it through bad weather such as snow and thunderstorms and I always felt very self and assured. The interior is nice leather and it feels rich. Unlike a Lexus that I've previously owned, the leather still looks great and didn't get worn out, even though this car has been driven every day and over great distances. The navigation is great too, although I do need to update it. I do wish that it was touch screen though because it would be easier not to have to use buttons but that's not too big of a deal for me. I like that I can connect my phone to it via Bluetooth and talk hands-free, no need for any ear piece. One of the cons, however, is that it doesn't have a spare but rather a donut. I have had a few flat tires over the years and I just don't like having to use the donut, on my way to the shop.
