This vehicle is very reliable. I have never had it break down on me or have any problems on the road. I really like that this vehicle is a bigger SUV. It doesn't look like it would be roomy, but once inside it was superb. I really like how this car drives and the handling is excellent. If I could buy this car again for my child, I probably would. It is a very nice vehicle. I think this car is great for both short distances and longer trips. I have driven mine across the country multiple times without any issues. The armrests on the front seats were what did it for me. I was very happy to see an SUV in my price range with luxury features like these. I was both impressed and satisfied with the car.
