The rear window and flat cargo area in the back seating area
Least favorite feature:
Placement of the turn signal control (too low)
Advice to buyer:
Don't skip out on the radio; get the Pioneer... and get a sunroof.
Detailed review:
The Sportrac is a GREAT compromise between a family car and a truck; especially for traveling. It has a comfortable ride, it gets good gas mileage on the highway, and it is relatively quiet inside at higher speeds (70-80 MPH). In 4WD it does exceptionally well in the snow; GREAT ski mountain vehicle.
I have had a few warranty related issues since I bought mine but once those bugs were worked out the maintenance has been uneventful
