Best compact SUV for the money
I have been driving this vehicle for 7 months and have over 13,000 KM on it. Went with the 2.5T Prestige in burgundy with suede seats. It is the first New car I have owned though I am nearing retirement age. This is a great value and definitely the nicest I have ever owned. My only concern is that there have been a few problems already. The rear differential started making noise at only 1,200 KM and needed to be replaced. This was done about a month later and has not reoccurred. Someone hit the front corner and did what looked like minimal damage but repair costs were $12,000! The headlight is $5,000! Won't look good on the carfax report. The steering gets very heavy when it is cold so they are replacing the rack. The transmission is having issues as it will not shift up and down in town or on the highway without playing a bit with the accelerator. That will be looked at tomorrow but I have spent so much time fixing things after only 7 months, I hope this doesn't continue! Rear end and transmission problems are extremely common with these vehicles on the forums. The service has been excellent so I haven't given up yet but I'm tired.
