Once I got used to their size relative to my MINI (No kidding) I thought they were ok--cushy ride--numb steering feedback--pleasant response from 350ci V-8 and auto trans. He gets about 18mpg on the cheapest gas available. I think his were NOT 4WD but I'm not sure. They have a bunch of room and probably are cheaper to buy/operate that many imports.

I would love a suburban but the mpg is terrible and they are more expensive than you think.
