There is all of that. OTOH, if you do much traveling with 3 or 4 passengers, it's hard to beat the back seat comfort of the SDL and that while getting 25 mpg.

I did Craigslist rideshare trips in mine, often way fun and adventurous, and when I wasn't driving I'd sit in the rear on the right. Affords a good view of the instrument panel. Dang it was a trip riding in that rear seat. It's a big cabin.
