We bought this SUV brand new when it came out and loved it right away. The car drives really nice and has a lot of get up and go. We chose the Durango because we liked the body style, the size and the interior space.
I think the best part about this SUV are the seats. I LOVE how easily all the seats can go down and up and how versatile you can make the interior to fit what you're carrying.
I also think the car has some sort of stain resistant on the seats. I have three kids and we have a lot of spills, but the seats don't seem to get stained! It soaks right up!
Since we bought the car, it still runs perfectly and have had no MAJOR problems with it. However, we have found that is has a lot of cheap plastic parts that break really easily. Buttons, latches, the grill in the front, etc. I've never had a vehicle that lost so many small parts in less than a year.
The other thing that I don't like too much is the space in the back when the seats are all up. There isn't any room for a stroller unless it's an umbrella stroller. I have to keep the back seats down, or atleast half of them to keep a stroller in the car.
Since seeing the newer body style, I kind of like it better, but I still love me car. It's overall a very good buy!
