Pros & Cons
Strengths

Very practical cargo volume for the size.

Good technology and infotainment features for the price.

LT offers a strong value: many nice to have features without going up to the top trims.

Fuel efficiency is decent for the class.

Considerations / Weaknesses

Twoengine/tranmission options: Depending on which one you get, the performance might feel modest. Reviewers mention that passing on the highway may require planning.
CarGurus

Towing capacity is limited (only ~1,000 lb). So if you plan to tow heavier loads, this is not a strong suit.

Some early owner reports highlight reliability concerns (see below).

In some reviews the interior material quality is described as a bit lacking compared to rivals.

What to Watch / When Inspecting

Since youre looking (presumably) in the Shawnee / Kansas City market, here are some tips:

Engine / Transmission variant: Confirm if your LT is FWD with 1.2L + CVT or AWD with 1.3L + 9speed automatic. The feel and efficiency will differ significantly.

Options / packages: The LT has a lot of optional upgrades (e.g., cold weather package, convenience package for wireless charging etc.). Verify what the specific vehicle includes.
