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. -Robert

Lather, it was not the baby seat that killed the station wagon. It was the car companies, stimulating and/or capitalizing on the SUV craze. The old station wagons had just as much space inside them as SUVs have, and they could have been equipped with all the new gadgets you feel you need -- even with the sliding doors that make it easier to get baby seats in and out. The distinguishing characteristic of a SUV is that it is meant to be taken OFF ROAD. And that is why it is JACKED UP. If you must drive it ON ROAD, lower the damn thing!! Here's a site for you: poseur.4x4.org Enjoy! :-) Joan
