I was concerned when buying an SUV that it would be a completely different experience from owning a small sedan like I've normally had. Our previous two cars were Priuses, and I had a lot of concerns about gas mileage. However, I have loved this car. It has a ton of room for my family and our stuff. The gas mileage is, of course, not as good as our Prius, but it still gets very good gas mileage for being such a large vehicle. We have only needed routine maintenance on it in the two years since we've purchased it, and it drives like a dream.

I purchased this vehicle when it had 43k miles on it. We have now driven it over 150k. We had no major issues with the vehicle. The gas mileage is sufficient for a SUV this size. The power is great. I’ve used it to tow a trailer several times and it has performed admirably. Even as the vehicle has aged, I don’t hear any creaks or rattles. The room is sufficient for a family of 4. The 3rd row seats are a nice option if you need to add more passengers. The rear space is really big with the 3rd row seating down. This is especially handy for families with kids. The internal display is above average for a user interface. It’s quite large and is easy to use. Almost too easy. The transmission is as smooth as the day we bought it. The model has a sealed transmission, so no need to change fluid. Overall, this is a great vehicle. If you want to go camping and the kids get restless in the tent, you always have room in the back for a small mattress!
