Looked to replace my 2000 SUV, but the new selection of SUVs have been up-styled to FWD sedans. Feels like driving a station wagon. While the reviews from the company say it is trail rated, I can't imagine taking it off-road for any fun (too low to the ground and not enough room in the wheel well for larger tires due to the springs being in the way). However, it has lots of leg room in the back seating area, even when the front passenger has his seat set far back and lots of storage in the back deck. And the MPG is outstanding. I've come to terms with this vehicle being a grocery-getter and taking me back and forth to work.
