No power. Needs a five speed automatic transmission. Sound system poor. Feels cheaply made inside. Dash controls feel like they will fall off when they are used.

Summary
Pros: snow handling (AWD)
Cons: stripped version/ questionable parts quality
Advice: If you have to buy, byt premium or limited.
Unhappy.
The advertized price if for a manual transmission.
(Have to add $1200 extra for automatic: (false advertising)).
The version 2.5X is stripped down version. (removed roof racks, removed fog lights, manual A/C..)
Once you start the car, have to wait for at least 3 min for the blue light (coolant temp low) to go away!!!!
Had it for 2 weeks, developed a huge windshield crack (service manager needed a flashlight to find the microscopic chip..)
Basically not built to be of outdoorsman quality.
If you have to buy, do go with the premium/limited version.
(do not recommend the stripped down model.)
