are very heavy and thus chew through very expensive tires VERY quickly. My sister has one (in SoCal) and is frustrated that she has to buy 4 more very expensive tires after about 12K miles.

She loves the car, but is frustrated about the tire cost.

The other (and related) issue is that it goes out of alignment very quickly. Again, weight. And the alignments are unusually expensive. She was all excited to finally get a "forever" alignment where she paid one price (about double the cost of a regular alignment) and then ALL re-alignments are free.

She absolutely loves the car. But contrary to rumor, it is NOT cheap!
