A real blast, despite my normal suspicion of SUVs. This one was about 10 years old, and had the rather powerful 6 cylinder engine coupled with (somewhat unusually for the USA), a manual gearbox. It accelerated like mad, somewhat scary in a car not really designed for cornering. Also tried a little light offroad, for which the selector for a low-ratio gearbox came in handy. Nippy, good feel for the road (not cushy like modern range rover type SUVs).
