Reliable Smaller SUV
By JCrew | on Tuesday, April 20, 2021
Bought this when we were expecting our second child. Really loved to drive it. It did get a bit uncomfortable on longer trips, but easily fit two car seats. Had an accident and the airbags deployed as they should have, and everyone was fine. My favorite features were the remote start, heated seats, and an actual FULL SIZE outlet plug! Clock quit working fairly quick which was annoying. The plastic elements of the car seemed to be kinda cheap.… - 2.0
Lesser Model of not so much fun
By DadGuy | on Monday, July 06, 2020
The vehicle within 120,000 miles and 4.6 years of ownership has been more of a drag on life than a positive experience. Everything from ball joints, to transmission issues, even the sellers were terrible. Front end of the car needed to be redone as well as the rear, full bearings and hubs within 90,000 miles. The interior was poorly made and designed, its to tight in spots and material wise the seats ripped just from sitting in them, Selt belts barely click and the radio wasnt worth anything more than a clock. It looks like some sort of knock off kia but falls apart faster. No space for car seat toddlers and the cargo area is small. Overall the car is a dumpster fire.… - 4.0
