Great value considering the superior safety features, low

Great value considering the superior safety features, low maintenance and reliability. Rear wheel bearings have been replaced twice and just had the AC compressor and serpentine belt replaced. Albeit expensive repairs, all cars need something after the first 3 years. It's been 8 years and the car still run and drives like new.

The back cargo area doesn’t lie flat.

The back cargo area doesn’t lie flat. That is some thing that I think is needed in a SUV. The control arms went out at 40k the AC compressor Went out 60k . Drives like a go cart was written below. I guess that’s taking a lot away from go carts. But it definitely isn’t powerful. Off road ability is poor for something that’s supposed to be dirt road capable.
