- Reliability (2)This model year is frequently cited for electrical glitches, particularly with the Integrated Power Module, and premature suspension wear.
- Maintenance (3)Parts are inexpensive and widely available at any local auto shop, but the higher frequency of repairs compared to Japanese rivals adds to long-term costs.
- Technology (3)At its launch, the available MyGig infotainment system was ahead of its time, but the base trim features very basic audio and climate controls.
- Comfort (3)The ride is relatively soft over bumps and cabin space is decent, but the interior is marred by low-quality hard plastics and poorly bolstered seats.
- Dynamics (2)The base 2.4L four-cylinder engine is sluggish and noisy under acceleration, while the steering feels disconnected and lacks precision compared to class leaders.
