So true though. Everyone is offering advice.

Aftermarket, no. But it is the GT with the nicer 17'' factory alloys which I like, but I'm more partial to the understated alloy look myself. It is white with tinted windows which really makes it look sharp to my eyes. It's my wife's so no lowering, plus being up here in the Great White North and driving it year round, wouldn't be the best idea.

This isn't mine but it looks like this and the same wheels but with the tint which really makes it look way better!

I have 2 kids now plus we carry my mother in law around a lot since she's a widow now, and we both hated the idea of a minivan but needed the passenger capacity. The 5 is perfect. It looks and handles more like a car/wagon, and the 3rd row is comfortable even for me at just under 6'. It's actually a fun car to drive for what it is compared to a caravan. No regrets here.
