Maneuverability, equipment options, road feel, spaciousness front and back seats impressive. Cargo space with seats down great for my German Shepherd and groceries together. Safety features and electronics/technology also impressive. Very happy with this vehicle, and the color choices were very good. Engine is peppy, highway driving and curvy mountain roads a pleasure.

Car suddenly lost power, took it to the dealer that stated it was low on oil, my fault. There were no warning lights about low oil, never saw black smoke. Same issue recalled on same car with different engine. Being told it probably needs a new engine at 39000 miles and my extended warranty won’t cover it due to not having required number of oil changes. Do yourself a favor and buy any other brand!
