For a compact SUV, it has plenty of storage, pretty good mileage, and has a few fancy features for its time. It has gotten me everywhere I need to go in the past two years, and I do not know what I would do without it.
Story
It handles pretty well in the snow if you catch my drift. I was at work one day, and it had snowed heavily while I was there till about 10pm. When I left, the roads were all wet and icy, and no one really was on the roads but I had to make it home. Most of the journey when off with out a hitch, but I had a turn I had to make to get on to the road to my house. It had a lot snow still on it. Whe... (more)
Pros
It has a digital odometer instead of the usual mechanical one. It has a feature to tell you the range of gas in your tank, which is pretty handy. It handles really well for a SUV and has some good power behind it as well. It has backseat heating and air to complement the typical air system. Air system also heats and cools the cabin pretty quickly even in the hottest or coldest days. I have had the car for two years and only had a few problems with other than your usual wear and tear. It is very reliable, and for as old as it is, it still can make very long trips no problem. Has a cassette ... (more)
Cons
Does not have an auxiliary port to plug your phone into. Cup holders are embarrassingly shallow, making drinks highly susceptible to spills. Leather seats are annoying in extreme weather conditions. Electric chair adjusters are slow.

Worse vehicle I have ever owned. Fuel mileage is bad, probably 14 miles per gallon. Air ride system failed and cost 2000 dollars to replace. Encoder motor failed twice in six years and cost over 800 dollars. I have had to completely rebuild the entire suspension system in this vehicle, it was almost as if after I repaired or replaced one thing another would fail. I spent more time underneath that vehicle than I driving it seemed. I still have the vehicle only because I would not be able to sleep at night knowing someone else would have to go through what I did. To this day there are still problems with the drive train but it's to expensive to fix so I just parked it. Like I said, worst vehicle I have ever owned and I have owned many vehicles that I paid considerably less for and had f... (more)
