What were your initial thoughts about the car? Tell us why it appealed to you.
Spacious, comfortable, easily convertible to 7 seaters. Reliable brand, nice colour and excellent build. Petrol large SUV. Leather seats with warmer.
What have you discovered since owning the car?
Superb car/SUV. Only 1 repair needed on the steering shaft that was covered under warranty. Otherwise problem free car, and reasonable fuel economy. Also powerful car, for going up ski fields with 4WD. Space is OK even if 7 persons but mainly for shorter distances, but if there are smaller people/children, the seats at the back is OK. Easy to drive and control, just like a car. Very good acceleration and power. Roll on the cabin despite its height is minimal.
What do you like/dislike about the car?
As the car sits in the weather all the time,moss has grown on the edges of the rear lights and cannot be easily reached. The car, can be a bit high off the ground for the disabled and very young to get in! This is an amazingly reliable car/SUV

Lastly, would you buy this vehicle again?
Yes
Why would/wouldn't you buy it again?
Cost is the issue! Also in the current situation, fuel prices mean higher cost to run the car. Will consider buying the hybrid but the cost is much higher
