Nice vehicle. I had one as a loaner for a while. As I write this it’s been 2 years since then, and the design was already dated in 2005. Still far more tasteful and a good bit cheaper than some of its more recent competitors like that fugly thing from Audi (the Q7). A fine vehicle, but this review hits on two of the main points directly: the gas mileage is atrocious, and the tip-in is very ‘civilized’. I averaged 14.5 mpg (!) in mixed city-highway driving. Admittedly I was flogging it a bit to test the performance of the V8. But it’s also not fast off the line, like that matters. Still hustles though.

I may buy one to replace my L…. Are these things reliable?
Safety part is what’s attrative. Subaru B9 is other choice, but those things look like a Manto Hee Hee.
