Nice family car

W ebought used and naw have 49K miles. There were definitely some significant electrical problems at first, but buyers should be aware that a recall has addressed this issue (at least for me). We have also experienced the ignition problems noted by others. Otherwise, a very nice alternative to a minivan for your family automobile.

We bought our wagon certified from the local dealer and are in love with it so far. Drives great, super comfortable, tons of room and the best seats in the industry. The safety reviews and dealer certification sealed the deal for us. We owned the car for 6 months including one long road trip and could not be happier.

I now have close to 90K miles on it and it is still running pretty good. However, there are a few problems that I have run into. The electrical system is a joke. I lost count of the number of times I have had to take my car to the dealer to have a headlight/tail- light/turn signal bulb replaced or rewired. If you buy this car, be ready to take it in for service on the electrical system frequently. On some cold mornings, the engine would not start for me. I have had to keep my foot on the gas at intersections (I have a manual tranny) to keep it from stalling. That usually fades away after about 5 minutes after starting the engine. Beside those bugs, an excellent car.

Perfect car all around

This is by far the best family car imaginable. It is luxury all around, but maintains a sporty silouhette. The option of a third seat, the amazing space and all the options make it the only car I ever want to own. Its a perfect alternative to the cliche SUV or frumpy minivan.

68K miles and still running like a top! Aside from regular schedule maintenance I haven't had a single problem with this car. I just fill it up and go! It handles great, has comfy seats and has a ton of cargo room.
