This is a good all around sports utility vehicle. My particular vehicle has been used in rather harsh off road conditions that required 4-wheel drive and it has held up quite well. It rides fairly comfortable for a 4-wheel drive vehicle compared to most others. It does have a bit of a blind spot when checking for traffic over your right shoulder. About average gas mileage on highway and in town. Plenty of interior room for a family or if traveling for luggage. Also has a luggage rack on the roof to store extra baggage. Overall I feel very safe and secure driving this vehicle.
