Engine moves around. Glovebox broke. Electric windows keep blowing fuses. Steering catches on something occassionally. Sometimes won't run properly, engine management gets stuck in low RPM around 4 to 500 rpm. When engine stalls fuel gauge goes to a low fuel state. Battery keeps going flat.

Huge carrying capacity.

Electrically heated windscreen. Only useful for a couple months each year though.
