it is the most reliable, comfortable, cost-effective (especially now with joe noballs' gas prices), mechanically sound machine we've ever owned. yes, it's a 2006, but there's no way to convince us there is a better suv out there. it also has heated seats, autoselect 4 wheel drive, third row seats, etc. there have been improvements in the technology over the past 16 years, i'm sure, but i'm not trading this gem for anything newer.
