The only car in its price range with true AWD-60/40 rear/front power split. Prefer the drivetrain to the more fuel efficient 4 cylinder and the hated CVT.
Compared to the full size p/u I was driving it is fantastic. Getting just over 21 in mostly stop and go suburban driving. Figure it will get better with age. Only had a couple tanks of gas so far. Only one measured.
With the V-6 I can tow up to 3000 pounds and carry about 1/2 ton inside the car. Not quite as much as the pickup, but enough, and for far less pain at the pump.
Excellent AWD, excellent cargo capacities and weights. Suitable to carry work stuff, family, bikes, skis, etc. Simply the only car under 40 grand that does what I need it to do.
