This has been a reliable vehicle. Aside from routine oil/fluid changes there hasn’t been other expenses. I have winter times which is a plus and provides solid traction in snow and ice.

It regularly gets 40 plus miles to the gallon, even in the mountainous terrain of Montana. When it's cold out and I'm traveling mtn passes, the mileage is worse (high 30s). When its warm and flat- higher (I had it above 50 numerous times). While it does fine in the snow it does not have great clearance, so deeper snow can be a problem. Can hold alot of stuff and people. I had no problem putting my 2 6'2" 200+ sons in the back passenger seats and putting luggage in the back and still got great gas mileage. Loved this car.

Plusses - 45 mpg consistently with great cargo capacity. Im able to put my 9' kayak inside the car to get to rivers - amazing; also can haul 10' lumber easily with the seats down. Negatives - back up camera is invisible in bright sunlight situations (fixed on later models), very noisey interior car ride.

Has great gas mileage, though acceleration is slow overall ride at higher speeds is good. Is a very practical car with the rear lift up door and large cargo area. I have a 160,000 miles on it, and with routine maintenance I have had one major problem, an oil leak that required a lot of labor and $ to fix
