I'd buy one again.

Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Spacious, stylish, homelink, onstar available, powerful. Decent handling for a big vehicle.
Cons: Gas mileage, rear gate spoiler design, visibility out back window w/3rd row seats up.
The Bottom Line: I'd buy one again and will. A few of my friends have bought them since, and they like it too.


I like they styling, it's look appeals to me. The truck is big enough for our four kids and some friends, travels well, handles our trailering needs. Plenty of room in the rear two seats for I'd say up to preteens, early teens. Our oldest two moved to the center row as they got bigger, of course at 15 my daughter could still sit back there, now she doesn't, at 18. (to give you an idea, she's on the short side, my son, same age didn't sit back there as long, he's also over a foot taller now than she is--hope that makes sense).

Center and rear seats don't fold as flat as I'd like, it doesn't make a completely flat area. It is large though.

There is a multi-positional unit, it can be on a high level with the third seat up, it makes for private storage in the rear, out of sight--well out of sight, set it upright and you can hook plastic grocery bags on it to keep them in the truck if you lift the whole gate and not just open the rear window to unload, or there is a just above the floor setting if you want it out of the way for big loads.

It's awkward to move around, I never got the knack to do changes w/o it getting stuck, wasn't a big deal just a minor annoyance. I liked it because in the top private position, w/third seats up and locked, the tool box, compressor, anything that didn't fit in the dinky underfloor storage, couldn't fly around the truck if ever we had an accident or anything. We didn't but one never knows.

The 'spoiler' don't know correct term, which covers the top of the gate in back, is pretty design, but not smart design. Twice, even w/snow cleared, it froze up and snapped in winter, when opening it. Poor design.

I tend to use my side mirrors for backing, but the rear view too, to judge distance to rear obstacles, w/the 3rd row seats up, it reduces vision at bottom of window and many things were out of sight...tops of chain link fences for example. Some things can be only visible through the rear mirror and you just need to keep that in mind.
