We bought this vehicle in January 2005 and, overall, this vehicle has been very dependable and reliable. It has over 220K on it, so we cannot take it on long trips anymore, but it is good for using locally. This has car has not given us a lot of trouble, but we have serviced it when we are supposed to, which I feel will make the car last longer when you take care of it. This car has gotten great gas mileage and is a smooth-riding SUV. It has plenty of leg room in all three rows and even with three row up, it still had ample storage.
