Love to have one of those but our car after we move will most likely be a Lada 4x4 5 door. Have to add a roof rack for carrying lumber and steel, add a lining in the back for bags of cement and bricks... Much like we've done with our Suzuki Grand Vitara.
From what little I know about the Sherp vehicles they are great as Tony the tiger would say. But I understand that they are not without their issues as well I guess pretty much every vehicle ever made has had some issues.
