 We chose this vehicle for ease of entry and exit of front and middle row seats and this has proven to be an important feature for senior persons, especially for those with moderate mobility limitations.  As senior owners, we have learned to miss having a front passenger arm rest for left arm.  Other than for the missing arm rest, we have been very pleased with this vehicle for over 12,000 miles.  Mileage ranges between 24 to 29 mpg.
