Bad listing

I saw this vehicle in person. The dealer did not state all that is wrong with this vehicle, including what they did not even know, a bad head gasket on this vehicle. This vehicle is a mechanic's special, especially if you have the time to invest in rebuilding the engine from scratch to replace the head gasket. So, if you want to do the work, don't pay what the dealer is asking and offer a firm amount around $2,700. Otherwise, walk away from this vehicle.

The bigger SUV

"I have and still drive a Honda Cr-V, but I needed more storage space. My son is growing and I need space for all his "stuff". He is only in Pre-school and we had to upsize, plus I have a couple of moped/scooters that I need a trailer for and the V6 will do that. *I would like to relate to the "bigger" people out there that this vehicle is Japanese and the driver?s seat is tight. if you are over 5'10" and 200ilbs you are not going to be comfortable in the driver?s seat. the passenger seats and seat belts are better suited for you. Overall a very good buy, up to this point."

Seriously great Car

I bought myt XL-7 with only 12,000 miles on it, and just sold it with 171,000 miles on it! The only thing we ever had to replace was the belts. Other than regular maintenance of oil and brakes, nothing ever went on this SUV. It holds 7 people, and carts anything you can imagine. I cannot say enough great things about this SUV! It handles like a car, but acts like a truck.Very comfortable to drive and soooo reliable!My mechanic told me to only expect it to make it to 100,000, but we far exceeded that! I loved my XL-7, and would not hesitate to get another!

Very reliable SUV

I bought this car a couple of years ago to replace my Subaru Forester.. I really wanted another Subaru, but this one came on the lot when I happened to be there. I test drove several cars during the past month, but I bought this XL-7 that same day and, other than using a little more gas (it's a 6-cylinder), it has so far been as dependable as my last Subaru, and that's saying a lot!
