Great SUV -- no mechanical problems, but problems with cross winds at highway speeds.

So far so good! It does feel a bit underpowered even with the 3.5 liter engine, but I guess I'm not expecting a race car either. It seems to hold highway speeds very well and doesn't bounce you around like some other truck based SUV's will. To me, it's perfect for a "mostly on the road" SUV with it's softer spring rates, etc. (I can't remember the last time I needed to "climb over a boulder"). Anyway, I highly recommend this vehicle to anyone that isn't chasing billy goats up the sides of mountains!

We bought this vehicle not expecting to keep it. Drive it a year or 2 and then move on. But this car has been excellent!!! It rides great and the AWD version is incredible in snowy conditions. I can verify this since we live in the country and have to travel a few miles on snow covered gravel roads. This vehicle is very reliable and fun to drive. If you can get your hands on one of these, then you should go for it!

Depreciation Blues

No problems to complain about with the vehicle. However I was totally shocked at the rate of depreciation when I decided to refinance to a lower interest rate. I like many others jumped on the zero down, zero payments with zero interest for one year deal with thoughts of refinancing with my credit union when the year was up.To my surprise the vehicle had droped in value by about 10K in only one year. Buyers beware of the 'snake oil' deals, you'll pay high interest through the Mits Finance Corp, and if you want to refinance after a year good luck! The key is to pay on it during the 'free' year (which negates the whole advantage)
