Comments
Favorite feature:	The back seats recline which is great for passengers riding in the back. My kids love that.
Least favorite feature:	CVT. Not impressed at all, lacks power and the downshift decelerating from 20 mph is noisy and obnoxious.
Advice to buyer:	Its a comfortable vehicle for travel but is not as smooth on the city. A little noisy and the ride is rough, your able to feel almost all the imperfections of the road such as potholes and bumps.
Detailed review:	I opted to purchase this vehicle because of the transmission, CVT. I had the impression that it would perform at optimal performances at all times. I discovered that it lacks power and the transmission makes a slight annoying noise decelerating (coming to a stop) right around 25 – 20 miles. The noise can be clearly heard at nights when the road noise is down to a minimal. The one good thing is the vehicle does great on up hills and that is when the CVT makes the difference. Not too many up hills where I live though. Another disappointment is the fuel, NOT GETTING WHAT THE SPECIFICATIONS STATES. Normal driving with fuel of an octane 91 is only getting 19 miles to the gallon at best in the city. Highway miles, 23 miles to the gallon but I can’t really say that is accurate. I will need to verify my results a couple of times before I can vouch on it. The ride is a bit loud and a little rough. Meaning, you can feel the bumps, potholes etc.
