General Comments:
I loved our Scout II! They just don't make them like that anymore. Clean, functional, no-nonsense, form-following-function design. It sat 5 comfortably and 6 in a pinch. Plenty of cargo room. The reason we didn't keep it longer was that we didn't notice one of the items on the equipment list: a 4.54 axle ratio! Thank goodness for the 55 mph speed limit because 65 mph was completely wrapped out. Consequently the thing drank gas. It was a great vehicle, but the stump puller axle ratio wasn't what we needed for traveling.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
