Ugly , useless third row seats, named after a homosexual enclave in
NYC

We have a 2007 and really like it.  We have the seven passenger model and
the only problem we have had is a piece of plastic trim on the middle seat
rail that has fallen off.  Subaru replaced it with no questions.  The
3.0liter in this large of a vehicle could use more power but it is not bad.
Also, fuel economy is not great.  We get 21 to 22 on the highway and 18 or
so around town.

According to consumer reports used car reader ratings, the only things
that garnered an average rating in the 06 model were climate system,
body hardware, and power equipment.  Everything else was above averge
or excellent.  Overall the 06 is still above average as a used car.
The 07 is rated outstanding thus far.  

It's only been around since 06 so long term reliability will be a bit
of a crap shoot with only the manufacturer reliability to fall back
on.
