Took it on a 1000 mile trip to Florida first month. 4 adults no one crowded. Good ride for an 8 hour trip.

It's an okay car. Poor quality.

I have owned this car for a few months and overall I like the car. My main problem with the car is the interior. Just plain water stains the seats and with two small kids that is not a good thing. Also, I have had problems with the check engine light coming on. I read the book and it says if the light goes off after a couple times of driving the car it's ok. That doesn't sound right to me. The light did finally go off though and I haven't had it come back on.

The engine is "complaining" all the time. noisy & rough. it keeps searching for gears once at a higher speed. rattles like diesel. the ride is so soft that when cornering it tilts and sways. the rpm stays at 3000 rpm all the time. so I doubt about the gas savings as it is a high-revving engine now it's mated to a bigger and heavier body

Bad in Snow

I traded in my Dodge Minivan for this vehicle because I wanted something a bit smaller and more stylish. I love the way this car looks and is quite roomy BUT I was VERY dissappointed this winter with how the thing handled in the snow. There were seveal times that I almost didn't make it up some of the hills where I live. I thought it may have been my tires - but when I went to the tire dealership, they said my tires were fine! Also, the seats show everything which isn't good when you have small kids and a dog!

I loved this car when I first saw it. Nice looking car and test drove good. Since it was first year model, there was no history. I wish I didn't buy it. Rubber pieces on outside of door just by rear tires fallen off. Replaced rear brakes at 40k and fronts at 56k. Both visor mirror covers have broken off. Stained seats can't be cleaned. Pass. window motor is shot. Had my engine computer flashed twice. I've had to change both inner and outer tie rods. I'm getting poor gas mileage. No where close to the gas mileage you're supposed to get. I'm already looking at trading it in. Too much plastic on the inside. Feels cheap. Although it's a 7 seater you can only put children in the very back.
