* Based on opinions and should be considered as general guidance only.
- Reliability (3)3 out of 5 starsWhile the drivetrain is generally bulletproof, this specific model year is prone to head gasket leaks and requires strict adherence to timing belt replacement intervals.
- Maintenance (3)3 out of 5 starsParts are affordable and the layout is mechanic-friendly, but specialized items like the self-leveling rear suspension found on the L.L.Bean trim can be expensive to replace.
- Technology (2)2 out of 5 starsStandard features for 2005 were basic, centered around a multi-disc CD changer and simple cruise control; it lacks any modern infotainment or advanced driver aids.
- Comfort (4)4 out of 5 starsThe L.L.Bean Edition elevates the interior with supportive leather seats and a massive panoramic sunroof, though rear legroom remains somewhat tight for taller passengers.
- Dynamics (4)4 out of 5 starsThe Symmetrical AWD and low center of gravity from the Boxer engine provide exceptional car-like handling and stability, though the 2.5L naturally aspirated engine offers only adequate power compared to the Turbo XT variant.
