Search - there are heaps of threads about them on here.

Basically there are two generations - the older one with the inline 6 and the newer with the V6

The old ones should be solid, but are quite dated and thirsty for the power they make. The newer ones are much more modern but they have some stuff that can be a bit problematic (electrics, direct injection engines)

I beg to differ, in standard form, even the turbo 2.5L one is a slow pig esp when coupled to the auto 4wd trans that 99% of the turbo ones are. Driving nicely in the turbo auto 4wd version will see you 400-450km a tank, which is around 60L.

in saying that, they have tons of room, rear seats fold almost flat into the floor for even more room.

If you go for the earlier shape with the straight 6 engine, check for rust under the door morrors. Alos if going for the 1st model, Try get one with the NEO engine, better on gas around town and a few more KW. If you dont want all out power and just want putt round town with the kids, the non turbo models go for as little as $2500
