When my wife and I added a member to our family, I decided it was time to upgrade to an SUV in order to fit a car seat. The vehicle drives smoothly and comfortably. The latch system in the vehicle makes installing the car seat a walk in the park and gives it great stability. I did have to replace the battery, though. I like the overall fuel economy of the vehicle. When I purchased the vehicle, I had the option between the base model and the XLE; I choose the XLE, because the base model had rims with hubcaps. I do feel that the vehicle could benefit from a stronger engine and a better transmission tune, as the vehicle can seem under powered searching for gears when driving at around mph in an uphill; this is especially obvious when driving in Eco mode.

This vehicle is a very reliable form of transportation. The engine is so smooth it practically rocks you to sleep. With features like Eco and Sport mode, you can customize your driving experience. Sport mode offers a very fun drive, giving you more speed and a quicker response when accelerating. The Eco mode is fantastic for highway driving and saving gas. The interior is comfortable and provides ample space for an average sized family or for going out with friends. The interior of the vehicle is a dark cloth, allowing comfort and easy clean up for families with children. Overall, the vehicle is exceptionally fun to drive.
