Minivans are awesome. They're more practical and fuel efficient than their SUV brethren, yet somehow, no less powerful.

Congrats for the car, really well cared and probably will appreciate soon as a bone stock model. But this don't prove it is reliable, after all you are the only owner, must have done all the maintenance properly and you really love the car (which assumes that you simply fix it when it breaks).

Maybe you are right, but this is not the point. Those cars had an expensive maintenance and have known reability problems, like suspension, steering system and leaks. What is not the ideal for a popular model.

Here in Brazil we had all the Tipo family: Tipo (hatch), Tempra (sedan/sw). Man, that cars were crap, unreliable in another levels. The Tipo sedicivalvole (2.0 16v) and the Tempra Turbo (2.0 8v Turbo) were the worst when comes to maintenance and reability.

It is cool, even more with the missing bumper.

8/10! That was hard

In fact, bring the whole Dacia lineup; America needs cars like the Logan and the Duster.

And that's sort of exactly what it is — a practical city econobox with a 4x4 truck chassis. It turns out that this basic formula is actually a pretty great idea, which is why Nivas have sold so well (comparatively) all over the globe. There's been others, sure — Suzuki Samurai and Jimny, those 4x4 versions of the…

The problem is that too many concept cars have lied to us over the years. There was the Cadillac Cien, a cool supercar concept that never saw the light of day. The Cadillac Sixteen, a full-size luxury sedan that never happened. The Mazda Furai, an awesome race car concept that never made it past one unit. The Ford…

Here in Brazil this is the way they steal bikes (aside armed robbery). They park a VW Camper on put the bike inside... hahahahaha

They had the Tiburon back then, was not so great, but they tried.

Obviously automakers agree... how many truly off-road capable family SUVs still exist?

you sir, you win the internet today

ba dum tsss

Wow, I need this right knows. I love those offroad variants from smalltrucks, like the L200 Savana

Creepy

No F1?

This one

Come to Brazil, every car have its bare-bones entry version. Even BMW.

Here in Brazil, for almost 40 years we used this car.
