What Owners Say

Dislikes

3RD ROW SEATS DONT FOLD FLAT
GAS MILEAGE COULD BE BETTER
HEAT & A/C CONTROLS DIFFICULT TO ADJUST WHILE DRIVING
I DONT LIKE THE AUTOMATIC HATCH OPENING IN THE BACK. I PREFER A PUSH BUTTON - IT DOES NOT ALWAYS SHUT PROPERLY.
JUDGING PARKING DISTANCE IS DIFFICULT,EVEN WITH THE REAR - FACING CAMERA.
NEED MORE POWER OUTLETS IN FRONT SEAT FOR DRIVER & PASSENGER
SINGLE DISC CD
STANDARD WHEELS DONT HAVE APPEALING LOOK/APPEARANCE
UNEVEN ACCELERATION ON CRUISE CONTROL
NO KEYLESS IGNITION
2nd row seating needs to be adjustable with more leg room.
seats are not comfortable; my prior vehicle had much better seats
3rd row seats would be uncomfortable for adults on long trips
auto opening rear hatch - it's not reliable
driving range between fuel stops - need better gas mileage
windshield wipers don't have sensors
the navigation system should be like garmin or i-pad
technology - other vehicles have better technology
storage & cup holders - not as useful as other vehicles
center console is too big &driver's knees hit it
