Had it two months and no complaints so far. SXT with 3.5 HO.
I came to it for reasons of price/value/kick for buck in today's market.
After the test drive there was no way I was not buying it.
The alternatives (all 2004-2007 models):
Ford Ranger (what I set out to buy): not enough headroom, BUMMER
Subaru Forester: pricey for what you get, slightly cramped for me
Subaru Outback: nice once I folded myself in two to get into it
Volkswagen Passat: put me to sleep in 5 minutes
Scion Van: kewl but unbearably cheap inside and you can hear every
suspension movement every moment you drive
Mazda 5: too cramped
Volvo xc70: WOW best seats of any car anywhere, decent handling, scary
repair stories so I ran away
300e: they are all scary movie time up here now, no decent ones left
300td: only decent one I have seen for months blew up (no joke) the day
before I was to go see it
Nissan Rogue: too cramped, nice package tho
Dodge Caliber: Drove it as a rental for 3 weeks while I shopped. CVT sounds
like a roto rooter half the time. Huge inside but I got tired of banging my
head every time I got in, really quick.
You can start the flames now ;).
