I have been looking at these to replace my old bronco. Test driven several. I would like one because it is one of very few off road capable SUVs that come with a manual transmission option.

- Driving a tank probably allows you to see more
- Power is nothing to write home about - almost anemic on the auto
- The style sure will get old if it hasn't already. (Yellow and blue look like you got it from playmobile - I had a dealer really desperate trying to sell me a yellow one ...)
- They hold their value very very well - stilll over $20k to get into an 07
- Not all of them had side air bags in 07 (I'd insist on having those on anything that new).

I will have to wait until the new version comes out - another 3 years down the road when it hits 15k or less it may be an option.

Like it was said above already, unless you want this for the off road abilities, you are better served buying a 4 runner, Xterra etc.
