Worth knowing
- The rear seat and cargo area are small, and some turbo engines have coolant leak issues.
The trim we'd park in our garage
Look for the Select: it adds leather, a power liftgate and more convenience features over the Premiere, and the 2.3-liter turbo is much stronger. Later years gained SYNC 3 with CarPlay.
On the test drive
On the 2.0 turbo, check for coolant loss or overheating, a known issue for this engine. Get a pre-purchase inspection and a vehicle history report before you buy.
