Awesome car!

Awesome car! Reliable and I have 200,000 miles on mine and never had a major repair. Comfortable. Good for towing. Easy to hold a lot of people. Speaker quality is good. I’ve owned about 6 different cars and this is my favorite by far.

For so far it's a very reliable vehicle

This SUV meets all of my needs. And it has plenty of leg room in front and back. And I just love the exterior and interiors designed.
