This Year's Model Updates:
The base trim level has been dropped. The 2.7-liter V6 is now standard (the LX still gets the 3.5-liter V6), as is an automatic transmission. Also newly standard this year are four-wheel antilock brakes and traction control. Exterior changes include a new grille surround, side cladding, taillamps, tailgate handle, rear bumper design and alloy wheels. Inside, there is new seat fabric, an upgraded two-tone color scheme and a revised instrument cluster. A power driver seat is now standard on the LX, and a compass is included with the optional sunroof.
Pros:
- Reasonable price, strong warranty, roomy interior, long list of standard features, solid construction, good crash test scores.
Cons:
- Thirsty at the pump for a small car-based SUV, soft suspension limits handling ability.
