Pretty good SUV
This vehicle has ensured I won't again buy a bourgeoisie car. I bought this one because I love the look, and way it drives. Still very much like those two aspects. Looks are personal, but you can't debate the quality of the way the car handles and it's power. As far as accoutrements go, this 2010 is very basic. In about 2014, when the body style changed, so did the interior and bells/whistles. I've been in both styles and the old 2010 feels like more of a safari vehicle than a luxe SUV, in comparison. On function, my two big peeves are: the slanted back end greatly reduces storage/hauling square footage. Second, if you put the back seats down to fill the back with stuff, you have to move the front seats so far forward, it's almost tough to drive. Maintenance is becoming intensive as the car ages. Those costs, especially at a dealer, are ridiculous. I've resorted to after-market, non-dealership service. At about 80K miles, control arms went. Soon after, front air springs. Not cheap. In sum, I love to drive this car, however next car I'll will go with something less exotic (more affordable to maintain), more functional and a little more updated interior--like a Toyota.
