I upgraded from a 5-seater to this 7-seater in order to accommodate our growing family. I love the leg and head room in this vehicle, however with the 3rd row up, the cargo area is rather small. Makes taking a trip difficult when packing for 4+ people for a couple of days. One of my main reasons for purchasing this was the styling, I admired it from afar for many months before buying. I have only had it a few months but I know the maintenance cycle is every 7,500 miles which is twice as long as my previous car. We have put it to the test in the mountains and highway driving and I have no complaints about the v6 engine. It handles nicely and the turning radius is quite good for a vehicle this long.
