Really proud to own an SUV of this kind. (Long-time goal achieved) If you are the person who loves to spend more time behind the wheel - Just go for it. and just loved the stability and the punchy push when you hard press the accelerator. Even though its AMT, I was very well convinced with the performance and on the other hand you have accepted the traditional AMT characteristics. It is termed as a compact SUV, although this car has a good ground clearance making it one of the better SUVs out there. It is also priced so aggressive and provides good mileage. Overall I love this car.
