I have one. Here are the positives: TONS of room inside. Off roading, not Forerunner off roading but it can handle most situation with ease. MPG? Cons or depends on needs. This V6 can two 5000 pounds. Which is great. A 2.0 turbo 4 can barely tow 1000 lbs. Probably the weight of the towing trailer. If you don't plan to EVER tow anything, then by all means don't get this vehicle. If you plan on loading this vehicle, then MPG's will suffer, right? I love the power and the tranny, which by the way is NOT a CVT. I"m thankful some companies still value a regular tranny. Is it gonna handle like an Audi A4? NO. It was great visibility, off road clearance is acceptable and lastly, everyone wants tech in their vehicles. Not every car needs a monster big screen tv on the dash. Just think down the road how much that will cost to replace when it craps out and you have ZERO warranty left. It will be a major fail down the road for all those big screev TV's in your car. I love it. Just me and the wife and 2 weens. Perfect.
