Yes! The Kiwi is so good! I think it's really interesting that we both had the same one before our Mavericks.
I had a few motor issues creep up in the last two years before I traded it in, but other than that, I loved that car. Went on so many family road trips in it.

Pardon the dirt and grime, but since I'm driving up to the snow tomorrow, I didn't bother sprucing up before I took the picture :)
here's the new cover on the bed, we'll see if I get better mileage
