Roof rack mounting rubber on the left rear was pinched during assembly, making it look messy. (Fixed by dealer at break-in service.)
Rear wiper did not make full contact with the glass when it swept past vertical. (Fixed by dealer at break-in service.)
On the advice of a few magazine and internet reviews, I opted for the larger of the 2 available V-6 engines (2.7L is the smaller) for better performance. Vehicle is nearly 4,000 pounds curb weight, which drags the fuel mileage down. Haven't seen the upper range of the mileage figure because most of the driving has been local, not highway.
Overall, the fit and finish seems quite good. Sound system is pretty good for a stock system, and there's a lot of space for rear passengers thanks to the semi-reclining rear seats.

Purchased a GLS AWD today. 56k mls, with all but the sun roof and power driver's seat. $10K. Unbeatable vehicle at an OHMYGOD! price. Been using these pages to research... TY.
