General comments?

This care handles curves better than any vehicle I have ever driven.

The acceleration, while not awe-inspiring, is adequate.

However, the top end speed of this car is absolutely phenomenal and would give any performance car a run for it's money.

Despite any mechanical problem, this car has always been road-worthy, and will be drivable no matter what is wrong with it.

The weight distribution, torque, and ground clearance will allow this car to go places no other passenger car, or even light trucks, will go.

The fuel economy is average, nothing to save a penny, or waste one in the gas tank.

The interior is very spacious and caters to the very tall, with head and leg room to spare.

The seats along with the spacious interior make this car comfortable no matter where one sits within it.

The trunk space is incredible and can hold almost anything one could buy in a retail store.

The view of the road is great, with very minimal blind spots.

The steering wheel is large and easy to grip.

The grip of the steering wheel makes it very easy to control this car.

While the stock paint is fading, there is no rust anywhere on this vehicle.

The interior cloth is still in showroom condition after 16 years of being rough with it.

Upgrading the sound system in this car is a must.

Upgrading the sound system in this car is very easy to do in comparison to other vehicles.

Customizing this vehicle with new paint, body accessories, ground effects, or after market modifications under the hood is very easy to do.

The timing belt on this car is still the original.

The timing on the car is very sensitive, and if it is off even slightly it becomes very noticeable.

The longevity of this vehicle has convinced me it is impossible to kill it, no matter how rough you drive it.
