We had an upper level with turbo, leather & AWD. Seats weren't bad at all for long distance driving. The handling was good for an SUV. The performance was not what I was hoping, but that could be the added weight of the AWD & higher seating so it didn't feel as fast. The mpg wasn't what I was hoping, especially with a 6-speed. Mostly interstate (I tend to set cruise for 8mph over posted limit) and averaged 25mpg. One big complaint is it has only a 15 gallon tank, but seems to be more like 14. So was stopping more often than I would have liked for gas, (really could have used 3 more gallons... or an hour more of driving). My rear passengers really liked the reclining rear seats.
The full length sun roof glass was kinda cool... but never sat in the back seat. I did have my kids in the car after I got back from the trip & they really liked it.
Hated the ergonomics of the Sync/Radio/Climate controls, steering wheel controls.
Cargo capacity was good... but never put the seats down.
