Top 4 Reasons to buy:
1. Affordable
2. Reliable (Generally, cars built year after year on the same platform means the manufacture trusts it)

Top 4 reasons not to buy:
1. Boring to drive.
2. Tacky interior lighting (very toy like)

4. staple welding, plastic fit and finish, just not work the price point.
Other cars to consider: Mazda Tribute and Ford Escape (pretty much exactly the same) Honda Pilot
