I have owned this vehicle since fall of 2007. It was new when purchased and have over 210,000 km. on it presently. I have had no major repairs other than tires and tuneup. I have serviced this vehicle as per recommendations and most of these km are highway miles. I find the Allure to be pleasant to drive and very dependable. It handles well in traffic and provides safe and comfortable transportation. I would recommend this car to anyone.
