When I bought the car originally, I was attracted to the fact that the option of having a third bench seat was available. Based on the research I had previously completed, I found that even with the high mileage that the car had at the time was not going to be an issue, as these cars will typically last for over 300k miles with ease. I also enjoyed the fact that there was a built in TV set for the kids to watch when we go on long road trips with the option of being able to watch movies. We also enjoy the fact that the car has proven its reliability time and time again. We have only had one major issue with the car and it was the stabilizer bars that have since been replaced. It has made many road trips and has never had an issue with various altitude changes. The kids have plen... (more)
Story
Our road trip to Colorado, we had fun looking at the mountains and seeing new sights.
Pros
The pros about this vehicle. The engine block has been very stable, even with oil changes being more infrequent as recommended. It always tells me when the car is low on oil and gas. It’s great when I have wiggle room to take care of getting gas into the car. It warms up quickly on cold days and defrosts the window in mere minutes. The sunroof is an awesome feature that we will open up on sunny days. It has an easy to lock system, where the driver door will unlock and lock all other doors present. The panic feature is nice, especially since I have had folks try to break into my car ... (more)
Cons
The cons about this car: The first thing we encountered with this vehicle was the lack of adjustability on the driver seat.

The second issue we had was that the air conditioning unit stopped working within the first year, as the clutch in the compressor stopped working all together. It also has some starter issues, I have now replaced two starters due to lock up issues. The stabilizer bar was the major replacement, as it caused the vehicle to wobble anytime anyone was d...

The car is overall very roomy. In the time I have owned mine, I have not had to take it into the mechanic for many issues, although I feel like as well as I have taken car of it, it should have been to the shop several more times. The only concern I have had is that the stabilizer bars and starter have repeatedly gone out.
Story
When I bought this car, I had picked it out online and knew I would be coming home with it. After test driving several vehicles, this was the one I enjoyed the most. I have gotten my monies worth from it.
Pros
Roomy. Reliable, easy to drive.
Cons
Same issues with the car have reoccurred.
