My experiences so far have been:
the cloth seats are comfortable, sound system can make the front passenger door vibrate audibly from bass, gas mileage is about 10-15% worse than advertised and that's when I try to be economical with throttle input, the CVT is cool and is in place to minimize gas consumption - very smooth to the point where you don't feel gear changes though throttle response is delayed as a result of this setup, the auto-stick shift is great and I find myself using it often to engine break while applying the breaks, the 4wd is kind of a gimmick as it is only activated when the front slips though I've never checked to see if I could spin the back tires, cargo space is small for an SUV but that's what segment they're in (small SUVs), so far I have no complaints other than the door bass buzz (result of a decent sound for base system) and the gas mileage. Does much better than small fwd cars in snow and that was with all seasons on in the first winter.
