I Have driven this car back and forth from Calgary Alberta to Vancouver BC several times and have never had a single thing go wrong with it - not even a flat tire... As well have driven all over Bc and Alberta in some pretty rough, cold weather too.. Up and down mountain passes and long lonely stretches of highway where she has run on fumes... i am never nervous driving her - she is not 4-wheel drive but she will go anywhere.... She is reliable, comfortable and easy on gas... She really is my "old faithful"... I will be upset the day I have to part with her...
