Exceeded my expectations; Love it
 I've had my 2005 XR AWD for 3 months now.  It has really exceeded my expectations.  Not one problem, and it's so solid, practical and well designed that I don't know why it doesn't get more attention (maybe a name change would help).  It's perfect for my needs, great for shopping and transporting stuff, and the mpg are in line with the expected rating.  I don't miss my jeep v8 grand cherokee at all (especially the gas guzzling).  So comfortable and easy, great value for the $$$, a real joy to own and drive. What a nice surprise!
