Great car for the price

This car has many features for a great value. The negative on the model I have, which is the 2LT trim, is the placement of the vents. There are no vents for the back seat. The vents on the driver side are also obstructed by the steering wheel. Overall this has been a great car.

Rides very well and I love the lumber seats

Very stylish and roomy. I love the My Link features. Opening the hatch back with a push of a button inside and having a button on the hatchback itself it very convenient.

Super luxury

My husband and I love this vehicle. We got it because we wanted an SUV but we also wanted something that was safe for goddaughter to ride in. We kept this car in excellent condition for the two years that we owned it. We ended up trading it in due to no AC vents in the back seat. You would not think that is a big deal but when it is hot outside and you were back there you get very hot even with the vents on full blast. Our biggest dealbreaker was when we noticed that all of the bottom doors on the interior were starting to rust. We could not understand why because we babied this car. Other than those two issues we loved this vehicle it was fully loaded and very luxury for the price

Needs rear seat ventilation

We have the V6 LT package - has every option of LTZ except the chrome grille and wheels. Have 2 toddlers and me only issue after owning it for 5 years is that it NEEDS back seat ventilation. The kids get so hot when its hot outside- hard to cool the back seat and cargo area if you just got groceries. Not too bad in the winter as kids are bundled up but it is a major problem in the summer. Other than that, its very roomy, comfortable to drive, the V6 has power, esp in the mountains where we live and drive. Fuel mileage is 17-21.

Most comfortable highway travel I've ever owned.

Gorgeous cockpit. Very comfortable and quiet ride. Great value. Premium sound system. Perfect for traveling with two to four people.
