As soon as I first test drove the car, I fell in love. I have had it for 10 years now, and I have no complaints. The car is good in size, not to big not to small. It drives smooth, and it is not a big gas waster. I purchased the car to fit my 3 small children, and they fit just fine compared to my small car before. As far as the engine goes, I have not had any major issues since the purchase. The great maintenance minder always lets me know when it's time for the service. It has a great and roomy third row seat, and if you have kids, it will seat them just fine along with groceries and sports gear.
