Top speed of the Borrego? That's like asking the off-road capability of a Corvette. LOL

I sat in a fully loaded Borrego a month ago. I was quite surprised. It wasn't any Lexus, but for $32K (dealership was offering a lot rebate), it was good.

@yumyumluckycharms my last name is borrego

Borrego's towing capacity of 7,500 lbs is impressive. People who buy full-size SUV's often need to tow something in the back, such as a trailer or a boat. If you don't need the towing capacity, you would be better off in a minivan.

I think Borrego is a great value for its functionality: seven-seater with a powerful engine.

i thin for 30.000€ new price you can't get a better SUV

I have this SUV as a rental & I'm quite impressed with its handsome good looks, capable engine, seating capacity, & options. As Hyundai & Kia take on the Japanese car manufacturers by offering sweet cars with attainable pricing, it's difficult for me to say that the Koreans have caught up, if not surpassed their competition. The only negative is their resale value...once their reputation for build quality is witnessed by the masses, then they will be a force to be reckoned with, most def!

Wow Koreans are stepping up. I just hope these vehicles are reliable though.
