This car is wonderful it has a huge trunk that can fit a lot especially because the seats easily fold down or can be removed. Even though there is only one back row this car is extremely comfortable to ride in the front and the back. This car also still contains backseat cup holders which isn't seen as much anymore. The electric seat adjustment has every angle one could want to get the perfect condition. Additionally the best thing about this car is that the front window is huge and gives you complete vision of your car so you never have to guess if you will hit someone.
Story
Some friends and I drove in my car all the way to Delaware for a concert and camped out and it was a lot of fun.
Pros
The large front window helps me see. The fact that it is yellow so I never lose it and people always see me while driving. Huge trunk space great for moving. Removable seats. Power seat adjusters. Backseat cup holders. All electric windows.
Cons
If it is very windy out it can shake the car. Plush interior so stains easily. Not as good on gas as a car. inner rim of wheel well where the back doors meet interior rust away easy. Trunk gets stuck closed.

I enjoy this vehicle because of the space and the strong engine, overall a nice ride. A solid transmission, stil shifts great after 175,000 miles. Nice vehicle design as well, very "trucky". Not a 4-wheel drive unfortunately, but still has plenty of power. The coils go constantly. The front end has a terrible design flaw; the tie rod ends break all the time. I've had to replace both tie rod ends a few times as well as the sway arm bars and the axle. Overall a decent vehicle.
Story
Used this car for camping a few times and had lots of fun, plenty of room and lots of power to get through the dirt roads.
Pros
Strong engine - The six cylinder engine is strong and has plenty of pick up and pep. Transmission - Transmission is strong and after 175,000 miles still shifts flawlessly. Space - Plenty of room and space. Can easily fit lots of stuff in the trunk area. Great for outdoors people and anyone who needs a roomy vehicle. Handling - The ride is pretty smooth considering, a little rough at times.
Cons
Coils are the worst - constantly going bad. The front end is a problem. It rattles and shakes at times from a defective front end.
