Best 4 wheel drive system of all 4x4's I've owned
Worst standard seats due to short cushion length creating severe discomfort on drives over 30 minutes.
Gas mileage is not great for a small V6 (average 13L/100km or 20-21 mpg) driven mostly on highways.
Good review, you have good detail in the repairs you've made. Unfortunately the repairs you've seen in the first 100k will likley be replicated/enhanced off of warranty the longer you keep it.
I had a 2006 which had to be sold due to the poor gas mileage.
