my mates subaru was absolutely mint! on the desert road in a shit as weather but was surprisingly good on fuel. so YMMV

Yeah they are full time four wheel drive , have seen a hi ace with manual hubs which is a good idea. its a tiny little petrol engine, when i pop the bonnet i always wonder where the other half if the engine went... heaps of access round it to do any work if needed.

Yeah legroom is good. Its quite a tall vehicle with enough headroom. Can fit 18 banana boxes in it.... payload is only 400kg though

What fuel economy are you getting?

Pass.... all i know is that 91 petrol is $2.8+ /l so everytime i fill up it hurts! Bit hard to get an actual reading as the vehicle omly does short runs and hardly has time to warm up. Evidenced by the flat battery that always happens at the worst moments
