Had one, good economy 750k to a tank, parts can be an issue as they are expensive and not usually in stock. not a very powerful motor if you are doing any towing etc ... found my one struggling with 5 adults into a headwind. on the plus side they have steel diffs
Avoid the Mazda diesel powered ones...
