Hello everyone! I had this car for about 3 months and I absolutely love it! I love how reliable it is and how quick it can get when it’s needed. The 3rd row is tight, it is a mid-size SUV after all. If you have a bigger family, I would suggest getting a full size SUV.
Unfortunately, there are a few issues that I’ve noticed.
1. Sometimes, the car stalls/jerks a little bit when accelerating. It doesn’t happen much.
2. On the infotainment screen, I can’t download or update any apps. It says pending and it keeps spinning over and over again. (it is a computer after all)
I have an appointment soon to get these issues fixed but other than that, it’s been amazing. I am so very grateful for this car. It is my first real car I’ve ever had and I’m so lucky to have a choice for once for something I actually want.…
*Fuel economy ratings and driving range figures are based on EPA estimates for new vehicles, and actual milage and range may vary depending on factors such as driving conditions, vehicle maintenance, fuel quality, driving habits, and modifications. For used vehicles, the EPA estimates were generated when the vehicle was new, and actual fuel economy may differ more significantly due to factors like age, maintenance history, and vehicle condition. Therefore, EPA estimates should be used as a general guide for comparison purposes only and not as a guarantee of actual fuel economy or driving range, especially when considering used vehicles.
