Am retired and leased this vehicle. Promotion on TV said no money down, and $4500 in rebates, it was a great deal. We wanted to use this car to move more stuff between PA and FL home and launch boats as we had a trailer hitch installed. We really liked the style of this car. No mechanical or electrical problems. In 19 months only had oil & filter changes, didn't even have to change a windshield wiper blade. Found out the back seat floor with back seat folded down was not flat. Had to stack stuff under cat cage when travelling. This is a big issue with my wife.
Felt very safe when driving except when changing lanes, due to high sides of car had poor visiblity on both sides. Also felt unsafe when backing out of parking spaces after shopping. We could not see behind us due to high back end. One of us had to stand outside vehicle to direct traffic when backing the car. (People in FL have no concern walking behind a car that is backing up, even when pushing a baby in a stroller.)
Now am leasing a Town and Country van, with sto-n-go so back seat folds into floor and floor is flat. Both my wife and I have great visibility, back to one driver at a time and we are truly not ready for a nursing home.
