This car has good features such as remote start, back up

This car has good features such as remote start, back up mirror, heated seats, sun roof, AWD, etc. but what’s more important to me is reliability. I have had this car for 4 years and have been to the mechanic multiple times and have put thousands of dollars into this car. It is so not worth it. Please spend your money on something that will get you to from point A to B, safely and won’t burn a hole in your pocket trying to get there.

Great SUV!

I've had the vehicle since 2013 and have had minimal mechanical issues. It handles wonderfully in snowy conditions with AWD. It is comfortable enough for 4 adults. It is the perfect sized SUV! I wish they hadn't removed it from production.

Very nice and nice looking car. No perfect but..

This car is not perfect but overall is a nice car. My husband is a mechanic and he has looked this car over and found nothing wrong with it. We are only selling because we are moving and my driving time will increase drastically. This car is too nice to run like that!

I just bought this car

I just bought this car and am still learning about it, it's a perfect fit for what I was looking for and the price was right! It's very comfortable and drives great I've only been able to put just about 100 miles on it but I have not found anything out I don't like about it, if I had to complain, not to sure about the fuel mileage yet and not really find of the cup holder placement, other than that I'm very happy

Exactly what we were looking for

Has everything we wanted & needed in a car. Handles nice. Drove it from Florida to Indiana with no problems. Very comfortable & roomy. It is the car we have been looking for .

Sadly it’s not reliable

Although this car is comfortable to drive and travel, it’s not reliable and break easily. Also, it’s too noisy and engine doesn’t last the 100k miles
