I think that for the price and availability it's really still the best 4wd out there all things considered.
I think that anyone who wins a big race could still win with the xx4. compared to the xxx4, bj4, and lazer, it is still the best in the air in my opinion.
Also since there is soooooo much history on the car, it's really like a chevy in the US or a Jag in UK or whatever. there will always be parts around.
as long as the cooling is proper and the silpper is right, it's awesome.
I'm selling mine because I have another one.
