Pros: For those who appreciate driving, need 4 wheel drive for rain,and little snow.
Cons: Center console needs work, back seats more comfortable, transmission should shift better in cold
What a vehicle! My nickname for it is the "go kart" because that is how it handles. It turns like it is on rails. Acceleration is great, the V8 is better but not worth the $7k more for that engine. I have had it over 105 mph and it is just like you're going 55 mph. Front seats are comfortable, back seats a little small. Cargo area is okay. We have the performance pak, which I recommend. The tires and suspension are unbelievable in wet or dry, the only drawback is the tires are not good in snow. I think it would be fine in the snow with more aggressive tread tires. It would be nice to have a better designed center console, the current one is a little awkward. Smooth shifting transmission sometimes stutters when first starting out in very cold weather. I got one of the first 2003s made so I have had this car for over a year and have put a little over 22,000 miles on it. Been to the dealer once for service.
If you like fantastic performance and if your idea of off road is driving across the lawn, get it.
