Not sure, i would like to upgrade but i find it hard to sell this car as i love it to much to sell it, it is amazing.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Steering Link arm and rods went. Only due to the salt they used over the icy winter which correded the under body which was not the cars fault and considering i did 30,000 miles in one year and it went to Europe twice. Cup holider restraint, the little thing inside the cup holder broke, rear parcel shelf holder thing broke, other than that it is perfect, NO ENGINE PROBLEMS AT ALL!!
What's most practical about your car?
The ability to go anywhere and switch to 4wd mode. Space is very practical.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
I love the center speedo console in the middle, gives a rare look to the car.
