Well obviously I do. These are great little cars. Not the quickest car around, but that's a given with a 77 hp engine. These cars handle very smooth and they are quite economical. I get about 30-35 mpg in the city. I love this car so much! I prefer it over my grand cherokee just because it's so smooth. Like typical diesels it has its rough idles, all you have to do is give it a little 'gas' and it smooths right up. I am not sure if block heaters came standard in these cars... if you live up north make sure you have one! And make sure you have fully functional glow plugs... I had no clue I had bad glow plugs last winter (my first winter owning the car, first winter owning a diesel for that matter) and I had a hell of a time getting it started on cold mornings. I killed my battery! Now, it starts like a champ every morning, no need for excessive cranking anymore. These things shift harder (mines auto) than most cars. My solution is to let up on that accelerator when it shifts. I've got under 139k miles on it, the car hasn't had any engine service since 90k miles and my merc mechanic said the engine is in perfect running condition. If the car's clean, and the price is right, go ahead and buy it!!!
