 We downsized from a minivan to this and I have loved everything about it since the minute I sat in it. It looks and drives great.  It was a mother's day gift for me, but my husband loves to drive it!  He has compared it to other suvs in the same class, and there is no comparison.  It drives like a sports car. I get so many comments about it by everyone. Only problems we have encountered is we can't have one window down at a time or it sounds like we're in a helicopter.  It's also a tight squeeze for a family with 3 kids in car seats, but are able to make it work.  Oh another thing - buy the 4 wheel drive. This cutie (we purchased the base model) does not like to drive in snow or ice!
