"Pretty Good, But not Great"
Pros: 4WD, Gas Mileage
Cons: Transmission, Noise, Ride, Sound System
Summary: I rather like this car. My mother got this in May 2006, and I have driven atleast half of the 25,000 miles so far. I find the gas mileage decent, 27 if you drive normally, and 24 if you are heavier on the gas. The 4wd system is one of the best I have ever driven, bypassing our old 98 Explorer Limited. I have never had any problems in snow or ice and feel completly safe in this car, assuming you drive reasonably for the weather. The brakes on the car are superior, very responsive and work well. The sound system is lacking in the car. We have the optional upgraded stereo and I find the sound worse than the standard one in my taurus. I dis like the gearless CVT. It revs upto like 6,000 rpms and can be loud, but the advantage to this is that you can use it control gas mileage, the higher the revs, the lower the mileage. All in all the car is a very good one, it is by no means perfect, but a very good 4WD hybrid.
