G'day V'ers!
I've been a member for a little while now, but haven't yet got into the forums to get learning and play my part! I purchased a 1997 Silver EX about a month ago and haven't looked back!
I've never really owned a vehicle that had any attention to detail put into it (mostly Hyundai POS cars) or anything that was half-reliable, so this V is a crazy step for me into the land of reliability.
I'm an outdoors enthusiast, which consists mostly of driving my vehicles through open forests and back-country crown land. I have read some threads here already suggesting that the V may not be the best option for heavy off-roading, however, in the last month, it's served me well for the purpose!
Last weekend I went toe-to-toe with a friend's 2004 Jeep Liberty and didn't have to back down on the trail once. It even seems that my '97 has as much or more ground clearance as the Liberty which I found pretty darn cool.
Anyhow, enough blabbering. I will get it figured out soon. I look forward to having this resource to start treating my V the way it should be treated!
