Acceleration --> It’s an SUV not a Porsche, Add a supercharger.
Fuel economy --> Just as good and better than some in mid-size SUV class.
Access --> Kids and I ran through all access passages with ease. I guess if your 7 foot tall and weigh 400 pounds it could be an issue.
Visibility --> Whatever, depends on how stoned you are. Better visibility than my wife’s Audi A6 quattro in the blind spots. Granted there is a rear view blind spot.
Ride --> Plush, stable, and very secure feeling like a tank! Above 85 see acceleration

Heavy tailgate --> Take the damn spare off you pzy, my 9 year old daughter opened it with ease.
Emergency handling --> Roof rail airbags biotch, it’s a SUV not an Audi.
Consumer Reports is pretty much a circle jerk as far as I am concerned. I have purchased alot of things they have slammed and never had any issues, etc. that they claim....sometimes I wonder whose payroll they are on.

None of my opinions are pointed at you BigBill, they are at consumer reports, don't want you to feel like this was an attack against you.
