Loaded 2007 Outlook XR (sticker was 41K), purchased February 2007. This vehicle had every "extra" I wanted when purchased, including luxuries like Navigation and HID/Xenon headlights, remote start, 19-inch tires, etc., and some I didn't want and will never use like the trailering package. I live in Pennsylvania. I've taken my family of five on two road trips to Minnesota and another to Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. We've used our Outlook for zillions of 3-mile trips to the grocery store and 50 mile jaunts to America's second largest shopping mall. We've packed our Outlook to the gills with our kids and their friends and with luggage for five. We've driven in snow storms and monsoon-like blinding rain on the highways and byways.
We've never had a water leak, even with the dual sunroofs, or an engine or tranny leak. We still have the original 19-inch tires. We've had only one problem with our Outlook: at the 11,000 mile mark, a horrible load noise began to emanate from somewhere. The noise was motion dependent. That is, at idle it was barely perceptible. Turn the wheel while moving at highway speeds and it was unbearable. I took it in and was told it was the power steering pump making the noise. They replace it, no charge. That was in 2007. The problem has not returned.
The Outlook is a wonderful, safe, extremely comfortable and luxurious family vehicle. I still don't like the tranny, though, even after three software updates. Maybe that's nitpicking.
