 we bought this car new in late 96  we 
do not go off-road much but it does the 
job well when needed  it has been very 
reliable   we do all scheduled 
maintance it is not comfortable for 
long trips   we had twins in college 
and this car really held a lot of 
stuff, especially with a luggage 
carrier on top   the jump seats are 
more of a nuisance in that it robs the 
rear of space   but if you have small 
kids, they would be fine   the mileage 
is not great - around 16mpg around town
