Faults:

Solenoid for door locks require repair. I thought it would be very expensive, but turned out to be reasonable.

Gear shift knob pops off all the time and dealer keeps replacing the hex nut holding it in place to no avail.

General Comments:

The vehicle is underpowered, but not frustratingly so.

Unbelievable space for kids and cargo. We feel very safe in this car, high up with a solid feel.

Sliding windows are a nuisance to deal with, but have not broken.

Seat fabric is fantastic quality, our seats are like new, even the driver seat with 230K!

Interior is very practical, but not stylish.

Good economy for such a large vehicle, around 22-25 mpg.

Faults:

Power locks jammed twice.

Wiring problem melted fuse panel (recall item). This happened twice.

Fuel pump would sometimes starve the engine (power loss).

General Comments:

Handles well for its size, acceleration & braking are OK.

Visibility is great; side mirrors cover blind spots nicely.

Driver seating is a bit cramped because of the wheel-well, but controls are all in reach and functionally placed.

Don't know if it's my driving or what, but I get 80-100 thousand K on a set of tires, and am still on the original clutch. Timing belt has only been changed once.

Huge interior - I routinely carry 4x8' sheet material laying flat. Can seat 7 and still have luggage room in back.

Centre and rear seating not very flexible, although this has been fixed on newer models.

Original parts can be expensive.
