Used car buyer's brief
What owners love. What breaks at typical mileage. What people are actually paying. Then run the VIN through EstimateProof for $25 before you sign anything.
Owners praise the 2.4-liter four-cylinder paired with the six-speed automatic for decent fuel economy around 23–25 mpg combined without feeling sluggish on highway merges. The third-row seating folds flat into the cargo floor, which beats competitors that year for actually usable space when you need to haul a dorm room or weekend camping gear. Interior plastics feel intentional rather than cheap, and the touchscreen doesn't lag like some 2012 models do.
The transmission started slipping or refusing to shift into third gear around 60k–90k miles on many examples, requiring $2,500–$4,000 repairs or replacement. Power steering hose leaks appear frequently between 70k–110k miles, spraying fluid under the car and eventually locking the wheel. Sunroof drain tubes clog easily, causing water pooling in the headliner and door panels by 100k miles; NHTSA received multiple complaints about interior mold as a result.
Under 80k miles: $8,500–$11,000. 80k–140k miles: $5,500–$8,000. Over 140k miles: $3,000–$5,500. Regional demand (higher in the Midwest and South), accident history, and whether the transmission has been serviced or replaced significantly move prices within each band.
Ranges are typical 2026 asking prices, not appraisals. The actual fair offer depends on this specific car's title history, accident record, and open recalls — which is what EstimateProof tells you.
