Ok.... I have always driven small cars (Chevy Spark being my most recent small car). My husband needed a vehicle and we found this SUV used and in our price range. We gave it a chance. I was driving a Nissan Altima at the time. Well, our work situations changed and it made more sense for him to drive the Altima and me to drive the Borrego. I freaking love this vehicle. It turns better than the Altima, it is so very comfortable. We live in Wisconsin so i need something that handles well in the snow and ice, it does! (I do have the 4x4). It is safe, it pulls a trailer well. So much cargo space. 3rd row seating. Heats up fast. I have two compaints. #1 - the gas mileage. I mostly drive in town and get about 15 mpg. #2 - THEY DISCONTINUED THEM. Seriously, i would keep buying them if I could. There are some blind spots, but we put some of those concave mirrors on the side view mirror and that fixed it. We call it the unicorn, because you dont see many on the road. If you have the opportunity to buy this SUV... do it. I love mine so so much. I cannot give it a high enough rating.

Borrego EX V6

I was coming out of a Leased Chevrolet Silverado and wanted to find a good buy on another lease. This was the ticket. I love the ride, pick up and the towing capability. I have had the SUV for a year and have yet to see another one on the road. I like that. I test drove the V8 but it has some lag in the take off. The V6 doesn't have any lag. It will put you back in your seat. I don't drive it hard just nice to know that the power is there when you need it.

The bottom line is I really, really like this car. Used all the reviews here on Edmunds(which were pretty spot on) and the USAA car buying help to get a good price in my mind before we headed out to the dealership. All said and done, paid $27,772(initial offer form the dealer was $28,900+). That includes: Leather throughout(Luxury package), crossbars, bluetooth, and '17 chrome wheels. Could have cared less about the wheels/bluetooth, but they were already on/installed and new laws in OR make already having the bluetooth great! 2,400 miles in and overall satisfied with the car. Oh, and the dealer used it as his personal car so it had 570 miles on it when we got it. Wife was pissed....

We bought a 2009 Borrego for my family 3 weeks ago. We love the features and the comfortable ride that the vehicle provides. Fuel economy is as advertised at 21 mpg, which is not bad overall considering the size of the vehicle. We are very pleased with this vehicle and I would definitely recommend it to anyone!

This has been the best overall vehicle I have ever owned and I have owned Dodge, Honda, Mazda and Toyota. Has been extremely reliable. The only maintenance that was needed was brakes, battery, oil change, and wipers. Approaching 200K also. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is the fuel mileage, but it is a large 7 passenger vehicle and is very well built and heavy.
