Nice little AWD with good gas mileage
I had a Jeep Wrangler, which is not a practical long distance driver, and so I needed to trade in for something AWD with good mileage - a perfect hiking rig for me and the dog. This vehicle has given me that. I can go 2-3x farther on a tank of gas, and feel confident driving it in all weather conditions. It’s overall a great rig. There’s of course little complaints about things that are missing for the value, like the engine thermostat, compass, etc, but I am fine without them. My only complaint is that some of the panels aren’t fitted the best, like the driver side window has a rattle when driving at highway speeds that I have to deal with sometimes. It also has very little power, so driving over the pass really revs the engine! I do love that the rear seats fold completely flat, so nice for the dog and for a blow up mattress for car camping! My biggest complaint is the fact that there is no “E brake”, it is an electric park brake button - no bueno!
