I’ve owned a 2008 and have a 2010 EX 4WD for my daily driver since purchasing it new. I’ve owned various cars (BMW, Fiat 124, Civic, Accord, Camry Expedition, Caprice, k2500 4x4, etc) but the E truly fits my utilitarian motives that allows me to be prepared for most spontaneous adventures that I come across. I’m all about outdoor expenses and the spontaneous ones turn out to be unexpected gifts. Not only do I keep hiking and fishing gear on hand, but also cooking gear to make simple meals or fry fish. I’ve built a platform bed and keep inflatable mattress and sleeping bag and a sleeping hammock Incase I want to sleep/nap. This lifestyle has allowed me to extend business trips over weekends in the great outdoors I would otherwise had missed. The E is not a specialist in anyone area but rather is built to provide a sparse and basic space which can be designed to fit the owner’s desires. It’s genius is in its simplicity from the suicide doors with no pillar to the clam-shell hatch which provides a covered place to cook or hangout. Even at 59, I still enjoy my E for all these reasons and more, which reminds me I only paid $20k for the E, new in 2010! Happy trails!
