It's "for the ladies" so quit complaining about the lack of performance.

I am just coming out of a LTZ Suburban looking to accomplish seating for 7 when needed, all the comfort I'm use to, and less time at the pump. I was getting about 14 miles to the gallon in the suburban and loved the space I had. Most of the crossover cabins were a real issue for me being super cramped and if a third row was present it was worthless. I think the car has plenty of power and drives like a dream. I wasn't looking for a car to compare to a high performance vehicle meant for a single guy so the performance complaints didn't phase me in the least. Chevy wants about $62,000 for the same truck I previously had. I figured for that I could explore luxury brands. Two of my kids are driving age and one out of the house already. We travel a lot and for this reason I need to be able to fit 7 on occasion. My older boys are both over 6 foot and this is comfortable in the second row for them while still being comfortable in the third row for my 12 and 5 yr olds. We also made the older boys sit in the third row just to test it and it was also comfortable. The Audi and Lincoln were a joke in the third row and may as well not have them. This was the best compromise I could find and we have looked at them all. I'm using Econo mode and I'm getting 24 miles to the gallon around town according to my gauges. Reports say 18 MPG but you can put it in sport, regular, or econo. I'm looking to save some gas so I'm in econo. I'm sure over time I will find a complaint but for now I am happy with my purchase. 1st trip to Sam's Club was my first worry but folded down one seat and plenty of storage room. Super easy and love it! Also like the lift up storage area and the fact that it is hard plastic for our trip to the pool store. Held chlorine container perfectly and DE powder in area off the carpet. Thumbs up from this mom of 5. I love it!!!
