I have owned this vehicle since January, 3rd of 2008, and it is now December, 15th of 2008 for me. For nearly 8000 miles, these are issues that I would expect from any car of decent quality that has over 130,000 miles on it, and I must say, this car has earned my respect.
The seats are too comfortable.
The car has horrible gas mileage in the city, but gets 27-29 MPG on the highway.
The car feels very sound and sturdy, it feels safe.
The car is extremely quick, and has excellent acceleration.
This is a great car, I know why Police agencies use it now.
I have a 1996 CVPI which just turned 100,000 actual miles. The car is in mint shape with the push bars and light still installed. The rear doors will not open from the inside, not child protection locks, and I like it that way, always tease my passengers I have to let the prisoner out. I love the power and how safe I feel driving it.
