Jerry,

For mountain driving, my needs are reliable brakes (preferably disk) and enough power to go up and down hills. Some people around here drive like id**ts and have no problem cutting in front of you and then hitting their brakes. I'm okay with leaf springs in the front and rear, as long as I can have at least disk brakes in the front.

I don't want a car like ride and I don't want a car that drags the ground.

Thanks,
Rob

LOL!
