Advice to Buyer:
If you want a decent small SUV at a low price, its a good vehicle
Detailed Review:
I've had the vehicle for almost two years and have no complaints whatsoever. Mechanically it has been very reliable. I have put 27000 miles on it and the only problem I had to bring it in to the dealer for was the horn went bad and needed to be replaced. Other than that, all I have done is oil changes.
For the price I think you get a lot. Power locks and mirrors, 4WD and a fair amount of cargo space for a small SUV. It drives well and can easily maintain 75 mph highway driving although the 4 cylinder engine does cause it to slow down a little going up steep hills
