Mechanical nightmare

PROS
Interior Space

Bought it for the interior space, including the 3rd row seating.

CONS
Reliability

I had my vehicle for less than a month when it started overheating. I brought it in for repair since it was under warranty and I have been waiting 3 months for parts that still have no ETA.
