Great vehicle until…
I loved this vehicle. It's rugged, roomy, and great for winter driving. I bought it used and it gave me a few good years before I developed two problems I felt should never have occurred: a clogged catalytic converter and, apparently, failure of the timing chain guides. The result is that, at lower speeds on fairly level ground, the vehicle still performs well, but on uphill grades it rapidly loses power and makes a God-awful clattering. My mechanic told me that it would cost as much to repair as I had paid for the car. That's my red line, so I was forced to sell it to someone willing to put in the time and effort to correct these problems. But I will miss this vehicle.
