Best vehicle I have ever had the privilege to own and drive. Definitely a luxury well manufactured SUV. Handling and SH-AWD is awesome on both dirt and paved roads, wet, snow, ice, dry. Vehicle's safety ratings is also due to its handling capabilities. Due to its high compression ratio Premium gas is recommended, which is unfortunate, but understandable. Its rated 300 hp and 275 ft lbs torque and 5,000 lb towing rating has been used flawlessly. I actually was over by about 500 lbs on both the vehicle and trailer with no issues. I am hanging on to this vehicle until I can get an electric SUV or Truck that has a towing capacity of 5,000 or more.

great all-around mid-sise SUV. Exterior styling wears well, looks striking in black, with the red/brick leather. amazing sound system, has to be heard to be believed. As an enthusiast, amazed at how well the car responds when pushed hard. Car seems to prefer being pushed hard rather than cruising. Can at least chase my brother in his STI. Ride is a bit firm on long trips, active damping with a comfort mode needs to be standard. Needs better quality interior materials and leather. Simplified button arrangement on dash. Car is very sporty, maybe adding Brembos, and 50bhp would fulfill its potential.

All in all I expected much more in the power area and the sound system was a real let down and I have wind noise on driver side and the ride could be nicer I feel all the bumps one the road , right up into the steering wheel. But I have to admit it's beautiful looking. oh ya premium fuel so gas cost are terrible. It does not live up to the reviews it gets (my opinion).

This SUV looks good on the outside, that is about it. I purchased it in September with only 69k miles on it. like 3 months later, I am hearing a whirling noise coming from underneath the vehicle, while driving on the highway. At first, I was thinking it was a wheel bearing. Took it to my mechanic, he said it is not the wheel bearing, could be the Torque Converter. I was thinking perhaps, the propeller shaft and I still think it is the propeller shaft. The engine sounds horrible. My guess are the pulleys. Brand new, this vehicle is 40k, glad I didn't buy brand new. I will be going back to Toyota because Acura (Honda) is very disappointing.
