amazing versatility, with the front seat fold-flat option, can easily carry 8' lumber, with the roof carrier we bought housing most of our tools. Great gas mileage, too, less than 9.2/100 after 5 years. Though it's not a performance vehicle, it has enough passing power. The cone-type transmission along with the 4 wheel drive, we've never been stuck, even driving during the snowy months in Ontario. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone.
