Our Strada, bought in April 2013 has already clocked 15tkms. Casa maintenance definitely ain't cheap. I forgot the exact figures and am rarely the one to bring it in for maintenance, but I'm quite positive it definitely doesn't cost half of the Ranger's 10tkms interval PMS cost.

One thing good about getting the Strada is that pretty much all of the kinks are already ironed out, being already near the end of it's model cycle. There have been no engine and transmission problems so far.

I can't compare it with the Ranger since I've never ridden one. But as compared to the other utility vehicle in the family, the Revo, it actually has the more spacious backseat with more abundant legroom and is less jumpy on uneven roads and humps (both having leaf sprung rears) even with an unladen bed.
