LRR,

Don't forget that the Burb can pull all sorts of toys with ease. So if you like to pull a boat or jet ski or a couple of snowmobiles, you don't have to worry about getting them up a steep grade.

One thing I disagree with however:

<<It has three-point seat belts and antilock brakes. That alone is worth never ever considering some antiquated Vista Cruiser.

In my neck of the woods, where it snows a lot, we call them anti-stop brakes. I can stop much better by manually pumping the brakes on a snowy road or doing a controlled skid than I can by using anti-stop brakes. Many times have I seen someone slide straight through a red light on a slippery road. Oh boy, we can't stop, but whoopee, we aren't fishtailing. Some safety feature! If you haven't experienced using them in slippery conditions, you are a menace to all around you.
