Has it's problems but quite the tank
Let's start with the fact that I absolutely adore this thing. I'd like to say it's given me trouble, having replaced many parts as of it's 14 years but I could say the same for many cars it's age. The biggest issues were it chewing up alternators in it's younger years and a gasket problem in the engine, needing the whole thing replaced (at ~140k milage). That being said, there has been no issue of getting stuck in the snow living in Minnesota where you'll get 10 inches at once. There was an instance of getting rear ended so hard I slid into the car in front of me - so hard it crushed the frame in a spot - and guess what, I was completely unharmed and the trunk still opened and closed just fine (though the front end did take a good hit). I have moved other stuck cars with a tow rope, loaded piles of junk and supplies for home improvement (including almost 300lbs of soil) and faced no issues. I've crawled over obsicals and rocks with it's 8 inch clearance, waded through a flooded road, and refused to get stuck in the snow and ice with AWD/4WD capacity. This car won't turn heads, but it sure will do what you need it to.

Maybe our best car buy ever.
Dom't drive much, only 65K miles on it and garage kept. Only one issue so far that was a rubbing sound in the stirring wheel recently which was replaced under an extended warranty.
