Rides and drives like a BMW sedan, top safety scores, loaded with luxury.

Limited off-road abilities, high price tag.

This has been a very good car. It now has 120000 miles. The only thing other than reg maint was the transfer case/transaxle was replaced at about 75000 miles. This wasn't under complete warr. BMW shared the cost even though strict maint had been documented. At 117000, I installed a new alternator . It cost 350.00 which was a deal compared to the 750.00 that BMW wanted. I did the labor myself. I repair cars for a living so I keep very good maint schedules on my stuff.

Review
In 4 years and 49000 miles this car has been in the shop for a repair just twice, both under warranty. The car is as tight and fun to drive as the day I bought it. I never keep cars after the warranty has expired, but in this case I am making an exception. I can't find another car I like any better, and it is so good I figure maybe to save a little money and stay with it for another year or so.
Favorite Features
The 4.4 engine coupled with this tran is great.
Suggested Improvements
The luggage privacy cover is a poor design and has since been changed.

This is the best SUV I have owned yet. A few minor issues, but considering how much is packed into this vehicle, I have no complaints. Extended warranty is probably a great investment. And of course....let's not forget the tax benefits.
Favorite Features
Great performance (sport package) and nice creature comforts.
Suggested Improvements
Display for sound system is kinda limited.
