Dependable
I drove this car 36 hours non-stop (just stopping for gas) from North Carolina to Utahtwice this year. Zero problems. Worked flawlessly. Put 6,000 miles on the vehicle in under 5 weeks.The car averaged 30.2 MPG across the country. Average speed was ~70mph.
Durable
This car expeirenced extreme dirt and off-road conditions in Utah. Over 1,000 miles driven on narrow, dusty, rocky, uneven roads. Zero issues with suspension, overheating, or otherwise. This car should not be driven like an AWD or 4X4 truck, but was done so. Car performed well for conditions it was not designed or intended for. This was not just some gravel road. Rocks 6in in width or larger, holes 4+ inches deep, dusty. Truly off-road, yet the suspension did not complain.
Oil & Maintenence
Car was driven 8,000 miles once without oil change (following oil life indicator) and oil was still lab tested as good for another 2,000 miles. Changing oil is very easy, should be done yourself. Follow the oil life indicator. It will fluctaute heavily depending on driving technique, but that's good. That means it's working.
I fully recommend this vehicle. It performs well under extreme conditions.
