The 2.4 is a tank. Had one in our 09 and only major issue we had in the 80,000 miles we owned it was an intake runner valve failure that was covered under warranty. Make sure you get an extended warranty. We took a trip to the beach one year, about a 700 miles round trip, 5 of us with one of those hard carries strapped to the roof and the back end full of coolers, etc. It did just fine. Just give yourself plenty of room and time when merging onto freeways...lol. Welcome to the forum!
