Good size SUV fits my two growing boys it is our daily driver. Owner it a year and haven't had any issues with it. I need a more gas efficient vehicle. In good condition not excellent so Sold as is.

One of the most reliable car I have ever owned.

This car met all my expectations, especially, with all the upgrades I did. The new oversized rims and tyres aren't the only thing you can depend all year round but also the Backup camera for safety, the GPS that will take you wherever you want to go without getting lost, the Bluetooth will give you the opportunity of hands free calling and the pleasure of enjoying your favourite music. When you are tired with all these the DVD is going to charm you up. You want more? There's a SD card slot as well as USB just get connected. Either Summer or Winter you want the car to be ready? Smart start is the solution. The included Smart start technology with unlimited range, you can start the car virtually from anywhere.

Good vehicle should have recalled it though

The exhaust manifold leak because of broken studs should have warranted a recall. Other than that has been very reliable and a great vehicle.

Happy with my purchase

I was impressed with the condition of my used vehicle. It drives well, and looks great. So far, I've been pleased with my purchase and experience with the dealership who sold me the car.
