 I wanted to trade my 2000 4 door VW Golf for 
something tougher.  I got the same interior 
room plus rugged non-unibody construction, 
4WD, awesome ground clearance, a huge 
"trunk", and much improved reliability.  I lost 
the car's smooth ride, handling and on road 
performance, but I think this is a truck that I 
will have for a long time, hopefully forever.
