It’s just the base model. Nothing special but it works fine for what we need.

I can do personal miles on my company car but I think they might look askance at a 4000 mile road trip on vacation.

Great gas mileage on that 4 cylinder version. Just slow for highway merging and towing. Money-saver tho.

Pro tip: When it gets the low rpm engine stall do this:

Remove the air intake to expose the brass ‘butterfly valve’ of the air intake. Look for brown residue around the intake infront of the valve. Take carb cleaning spray. Start the engine. At idle have someone rev the engine a little (1500rpm) and spray all. around the intake. If the engine stalls, just restart and continue. Do the carb spray + paper towel wiping until the valve and intake are clean. Done. I usually get about 50K miles between cleanings.

Good luck, have fun, great car.
