This SUV is more about looks and dependability versus comfort and roominess. We (a family of 4) feel crowded in ours. Two car seats, a diaper bag, book bag, a gym bag, a stroller in back, plus 2 adults make this SUV feel very confined. If the adults have the seats adjusted to perfect comfort levels, then the kids can barely get in the back seat. Plus, there is only one cup holder, low to the ground in the back that the kids fight over, if and when they can reach it from there car seats.

I have owned this car since she was new October 2002 (a 2003 model)...still going strong. Just done routine maintenance except replaced power steering mechanism 5,000 mls ago. I never thought it would last 20 years! I still have people that offer to buy my car. I take good care of it, keep it clean. Everyone is amazed when I tell them how old she really is. I will run this car till she can't move anymore. It is roomy...and love that the seats go down to give a large cargo back. Only wish it had a trunk door that lifts itself.

206K miles still running strong

Replaced the original Denso Alternator at 206k just a week ago. Replaced lifetime original transmission filter with 1 of 2 proven replacements at 175k. Aside from the regular scheduled maintenance that is needed nothing else has been replaced but some light bulbs at high miles. Exceptional build quality in my 2003. The antenna always breaks and its not worth fixing just use the CD player. The leather quality is great, and the VSC all wheel drive is reliable in rainy conditions and ice/snow. Easy to change fluids and service yourself. HID lights look great with this older generation, and you cant tell it apart from a early gen 350. Very happy, and going to use this car until her last mile.
