Any of you have experience with this gen and motor?

Test drove it. Seemed fine. Cosmetically it's a 9.5. 27k on the odo and has a manual transmission. Need a new family hauler and this seemed to fit the bill pretty good.

My wife has a 2.5 (non-premium but has the winter package) with an auto transmission and it's been pretty solid. It has around 74k miles on it. No real mechanical issues so far. Only recall I recall would be corrosion in the brake lines but had it done previously. Hope this helps.

Good family hauler imo.

2.5 engine is a pretty reliable one. Only thing would be head gaskets could need replacing near 100k

Thanks for the input guys. I read up on it and seem the biggest issue for this model year was a steering wheel shake for a small percentage of owners. Between 60mph and 85mph the steering wheel would shake pretty bad. Test drove it again and it wasn't present.
