I got 250,000 miles out of my last car (the same year and model) and hope to get the same out of this one. With regular maintenance this SUV works great as a highway and off-road driver. The interior is durable and meets my needs, as I like to haul firewood and other messy things in the back. I am not impressed with the rearview mirror. It relies entirely on electricity to activate a dimmer. I prefer the old fashioned lever to tilt the mirror. Also, the cruise control buttons have just about disintegrated. The buttons are made of some kind of wax material and they have softened/melted in the heat of the high desert where I live. One side of the cruise control console has recently broken away from the steering wheel. I have plenty of room to sleep in the back (along with my gear) when I car camp. Even though this car is 17 years old, and I still get about 19 mpg.

I like the way my vehicle runs and acts. I have had to do some work to it but it runs smooth and handles smooth.
