When my husband and I purchased our vehicle, I was in love with it! Down to the color, the extra space for our 5 month old and overall look of the vehicle. After 3 weeks though, our backup camera started messing up and when going under 20mph the vehicle felt like it was hopping. Come to find out, our new vehicle to us was on its 4th transmission. Nissan's CVT transmissions apparently have a bad rap for being cheap and prone to malfunctioning. After 2 more transmissions we're installed within a 4 week period, our vehicle was back to new. If I could do it over, I would have looked further into reviews and complaints and triple checked what exactly "transmission checked" meant on Carfax. Other then these issues, I do love my car so long as it drives good.

One of my favorite facets of this vehicle that I was looking for was to be a mid-size SUV with the capability to seat seven to eight people, yet be small enough to get decent gas mileage without being a "land yacht." The vehicle accelerates smoothly and rides well. It has a nice sound system with over ten speakers and dual DVD in the headrests to entertain the kids.
