Author's Review
I bought this used last year at 138000kms, loaded. It has very few minor rust spots for an import. There is a slight fan squeal, the brakes need to be replaced, I recharged the AC, and I am needing to replace the rear seals. All are pretty minor, and I did the brakes my self. (one little note, the diff cap is welded on, not bolted)
I really like the bose sound system, it can put out pretty crisp, bassy, loud sound. The leather seats are comfy, I can ride in them all day. In the hatch it's roomy enough for two large bass amps laying down side by side with room to spare. There are lots of anchor points for tie downs in the back. The roof rack is very customizable/movable. It also has pretty good clearence. I live in Alberta Canada and the only time I had to get a tow was when I drove down a trail more or less, pushing snow with my bumper and pulling a loaded down balanced trailer that slid into the ditch around a corner.
I dislike the 400kms a $55 tank. I am 6'1" and I find the leg room could be better, the head room is fine. Backseat legroom is lacking but reclines far even with the pullout cover in the back. It is a bit underpowered, 3.3 V6, not quite the get up and go I would like.
I bought it to pull a snomobile trailer, which it does well. There is an issue with the rear window not being low enough to see the short flatbed. It now has 150000kms and I still love it. This is the truth, the whole truth, and nothin but the truth.
