1.   And the test car, which had a full service history, also featured alloy wheels and burglar alarm.

2.   This is confirmed by the solid way in which the doors close, the even panel fit and the shut lines on the test car.

3.   Although this feature was included on our test car, we chose to leave the vehicle parked after the ice storm hit North Texas two days before Christmas.

4.   And aside from the bleak expanses of black plastic in the test car, the interior has comfortable seats, easy-to-read controls and copious space.

5.   An emerald green one, just like the test car.

6.   And the quality of the fit and finish could have been better on the early-production test car.

7.   Annoyances on the test cars included loud, grating noises from the telescoping steering wheels in two cars, and a similar groan from one power seat.

8.   Antilock brakes are optional, and were not included on our test car.

9.   Body shake over bumps and through turns is minimal, partially due to the integral roll bar, and rattles in our test car were nil.
