Brown, manual, limited slip differential standard.

But does it run on diesel?

I see you opted for the performance package. It's a little more expensive upkeep than the standard model but worth it for many folks.

No, and unfortunately not much carrying capacity, either.

Can't stuff much junk in the trunk?

We checked out the reviews. This model has had a long production run and definitely follows the 'simplify, and add lightness' ethos. They are pretty easy to find on the used market, but like a lot of performance models, they can have some significant track time. Our particular example doesn't appear to have been tracked, and no aftermarket mods.

Nice, nice, AWD, low coefficient of drag, good ground clearance, I think you have a unicorn there.

Nope. But at least AWD, albeit with a rear bias.

Rear bias is better anyway

Nice. Nearly all the ones I run into were tracked regularly. Still have some good miles left in them but occasionally come with some issues. It's better than them being sent to the scrap had though. Rarely come across a trailer queen.

Bonus studded tires. Handy this time of year.

Yeah, a good find. I have a good friend in Kansas City who restores old track models, so he was advocating for us to pick one up.

That brown with blue cloth trim really does it!
