I love mine! Great on & offroad.

Just a bit short of Great

...Pros: Handles nice and is the right size with lots of space for cargo and people.
Nice paint finish and love the pearl white finish.
Cons: Not put together real tight. Bit noisy when pushed, Uses too much gas for the size of engine and the RPMs are too high causing more fuel consumption.
Now it has developed oil leak. NOt real crazy about the rough ride but will change tires and see if that helps.

...Pros: This vehicle is solid.Great off road.Stereo is a kicker.Feel like Iam in a larger suv.Third seat is been a positive.Rear air keeps kidys cool.Towing ratio is awesome.
Cons: Need third seat to fold flat and sink in floor
board.Need more entertainment options like DVD players etc.Need to put tow package already on it.Antilock brakes and traction control for 2wd models.Suspension is too trucklike on highways...

stares and looks that I get from people wanting to know what type of vehicle it is? Cons: Gas mileage could be alot better because I love to drive my new XL 7.
