Not up to expectations

Generally, I like the car. I see only one problem with it, mileage per gallon. On city/highway combined it makes 21 MPG, about the same as my 2006 RAV4. Economy mode doesn't do any good, just slows down the acceleration. Unfortunately, fuel economy is a big selling point, and it's disappointing. Other than that, it's nice car.

You have to be ok with the range of view. First SUV for me and I'm getting used to relying on back up camera and knowing my blind spots. Easier to adapt to than I previously thought.

If only there were room for longer legs

We'd give it a five star rating if the front had longer leg room. Driving position is a bit cramped. When we got the car, we considered out to be like a cockpit. But after time, the cockpit kinda closed in on us. I'm six feet, my wife is 5-10 (But her legs are as long as mine). Or maybe, if the steering wheel would extend a bit further, out would be better. Otherwise, except for road noise at 70 plus on the highway, and a sometimes sort of screaming noise thru the Bluetooth on the phone, it's perfect!

Dollar for dollar, it is a great value for the money. Built to last a long time. Very reliable. My previous Honda CRV was 15 years old when I traded it in. A great, time tested vehicle.

I really love the car ride is smooth a little rough when in Econ mode interior is spacious lots of storage in the back. I’d actually keep or get the newer model but family has expanded so I’m going with a Pilot
