We bought this car when we were going to have a third kid. We knew we needed something bigger suited for a bigger family. This car has tons of space inside. The vehicle has been a stable car for the last 15 years. The car has been through over 175,000 miles and still continues to be used on a daily basis. While the miles per gallon isn't the best, the size of the vehicle makes up for it. But with a regular oil change and check ups, this vehicle holds up well.
