Overall, the vehicle has performed well. PROS: There are two rows of seats behind driver which means being able to either comfortable transport others or fold down last row for more carrying space. There is also a DVD player, separate temperature options and volume controls for the back. Driver and passenger seats have seat and back warmers which is nice in winter months. It also is 4 wheel drive which makes a huge difference. Controls on steering wheel make cruise control and changing radio stations easy and convenient. The electronic telling of when to change oil, how much gas is left, etc. is convenient and useful. CONS: In the last two years I have had to start replacing different parts of the car. Transmission, ball joints and different wiring has begun to sometimes not work. This isn't the con as I understand its bund to happen, the con is that some of the parts need to be specially ordered which takes longer to get back. The air conditioner has been inconsistent in not all vents get cold when turned on.

The SUV is very reliable. It has required minimal maintenance in the first 150,000 miles. It offers a pretty basic benefits package like a CD player, automatic seats, locks, and windows, and heated seats. It has a rack on the top although I never use that feature.
