This TRUCK proves you can't take an expert's opinion. It has excellent quality and is fun to drive. The chimps that complain usually DISS the console display. Forget it, and get used to it. I've seen reviews about the truck like bearing...it is a truck...duh! Try taking your RAV4 through some sand or...ahh, you get it. Have you ever gone to a movie that gets a bad review, and liked it? Get away from the maddening crowd and don't tell too many people, they might start charging full price.

This SUV is neat because it is different from others. However, I have to say I am sick of reading how awsome it handles, like a car. This toaster, that was wrongly named "Axiom" blows all over the road with the slightest gust. It does pull my boat, witch is nice. Too bad my boat is easier to drive in a straight line. If you don't let it warm up, it hessitates, even backfires. maybe I got a dud who knows. My advice, go with a different manufacturer.

Honestly, I had this car for 7 years and 105K before my wife totaled it last week and with the exception of an AC compressor a year or two ago, the vehicle was flawless. I towed a 3500lb boat and it was perfect. Even with the 2WD model the limited slip system never got me stuck at a boat ramp or anywhere else. And it always had plenty of power to tow that boat. Fuel efficiency was always a problem whether towing or not though.

Model prone to Frame Rust-through

02 Axiom with 85K miles. We live in central MA and driven by my wife who babies the car. Rear Trailing Arm/Stabilizer completely rusted off the frame. Completely unacceptable on today's car. Same frame as Rodeo and Honda Passport. Do NOT BUY this car until you physically check for frame rust and specifically on the rear trailing arms.

This is a great SUV for the money. You feel like you are driving a luxury vehicle, much better finish and ergonomics than Toyota Highlander or 4Runner. It gets plenty of looks and does not feel like a big truck.
