| Comments |
Favorite feature: |
lots of room, comfortable, blind spots are minimal |
Least favorite feature: |
rear pads went out at 45,000, caliper siezed when re-installing, had to replace it. All in all, since it is new, there are no aftermarket components yet making all replacement parts very expensive. |
Advice to buyer: |
do not ever buy a first year model. nobody has parts or a history of experience on repair. |
Detailed review: |
70,000 miles and transmission is gone. yes, i should've flushed the tranmission at 35,000 but for it to break down? so far i can't find ANY mechanic that believes this is acceptable. 6-speed automatic |
