General comments?
Although the engine and transmission were very smooth and powerful, the ride was poor over bumps. When crossing railroad tracks or other bumps, it always sounded like we had a load of dishes in the van. The paint job was also poor with dirt in the paint in several locations. The overall fit and finish quality was poor both inside and out.
