"This is a perfect vehicle if you are single. No need for 4 doors or the back seats, so I leave them folded down all of the time. Plenty of room for hauling just about anything. Dog loves riding in the back! Never been in the shop for repairs (except maybe a sensor) so its very reliable, and the first battery lasted about 9 years. I hope it lasts another 10 years. The ride is a little rough, and the gas mileage isnt great (about 20mpg on the highway), and there is some rusting, especially the running boards. Overall I love it though."
