Excellent HP and torque for this class of vehicle. Very good acceleration.
Standard features included all of the important ones. Lowest price without being forced to buy "fluf" feature bundles that included only one or two features that I would use.
Fold flat front seat allows long items. Boxy geometry accomodates akward shape items and maximizes loadability. 3500 Lbs. towing is very usefull.
Up high allows good forward view. Seats are higher such that knees are lower than hips = more comfort.
Plastic body panels are very durable.
