I have had it for more than a decade now. It is really a miser on diesel fuel. It has adequate pulling power. I towed a couple of vehicles with it already and it has no sign of slowing down despite it's age (been here in Benguet and Baguio all it's life). I guess as with all cars, proper maintenance is tops to get it as far as I have taken it. The latest problem I encountered was the muffler giving way. I had it replaced though. Clutch, never been changed since I got it. I had a powersteering box leak when it was 9 years old and it cost me 3,000 plus just for the repair kit, which was just a couple of rubber rings. Parts are aplenty. One thing I like about this too is that it has 2 oil filters.
