My CEO continues to like hers, though the overwrought electronics can be annoying. She's had to replace one RFT [we live in a construction zone, unfortunately], and its tire pressure monitors misread/overreact. Had to have a front brake job last week at 26k miles or so. That's partly from her brake-heavy driving style, but still. I affirmatively dislike its rough ride with RFTs, and the pseudoleather upholstery. I'm thinking the Mazda CX might be the way to go if we do another SUV/CUV, and keep the price down. I personally would consider a Subaru Forester to get a stick shift, but the lack of towing capacity and performance discourage me.
