Constant sense of security
Wednesday, April 20, 2022
Pleasant to drive and nimble suv. Beauty of the all-time 4-wheel drive.Absolutely amazing in snow, thick mud, going up or down; feels « intelligent » in bad conditions. Nothing will stop you. Lots of security features, some confusing. Ride at recommended 35 pressure is NOT comfortable. Rather noisy engine (cold start) , sounds very busy on accelerating (CVT!). Altogether a very sound and tight vehicle, attractive enough but underpowered and definitely not comfortable on bumpy or badly paved city streets. It’s an SUV after all. Needs 50-80 hp more.…
