Pros

• Fuel Economy

  If gas prices go sky-high I'll still be happy with the 27-30+MPG I'm getting now. Mileage is better than my Ford Escape.

• Ride and Handling

  On expressways it's like sittintg on your comfy sofa, on the winding hilly roads it settles in and takes curves at speed; it must be the symetrical AWD

• Interior Space

  With rear seats up it seats five adults comfortably and still has cargo space.

Cons

• Cost to Maintain

  I have not owned this long enough to determine maintenance cost, but new tires cost $800, I guess you pay what you want to.

Pros

• Ride and Handling

  AWD nothing stops it. Handles well.

Cons

• Cost to Maintain

  The head gasket failed at around 50,000 miles 3000 to repair it. The gas tanks are metal and at 150,000 miles it rusted out and develop an evaporation leak.

• Cargo Space

Cons

• Technology and Entertainment
