General comments?
This car is amazing, when it doesn't have any problems... unfortunately which is rarely.
This car was an ex taxi, and had taken quite a beating but the power on this is amazing... Almost nothing can catch up to it on the highway.
The pickup is excellent.
Despite a few problems, this car is still a pleasure to drive and going strong at 480 000 km's.
It can still drive from Ottawa to Montreal and back in the same day with no problems.
Amazing car to own and a pleasure to drive.
