I bought this so that I could give my son my smaller car, and I specifically wanted a SUV, but I was afraid of something with too much power because I didn't want to have to pay for expensive fill ups and poor gas mileage. But this car is perfect. I can easily accelerate on they interstate and smoothly ride 60 mph or more without it feeling liked he engine is overworking itself. On top of that, it does not take much to fill up the gas tank and it lasts longer than a full week which makes is affordable to get around town and back and forth to work without burning a lot of gas.
