I bought my RX3 one week ago today. I have 660 miles on it now. It will do quite a few things well, but it has limitations that I can live with.

If I am going on a road trip, I can take my motorhome or my Goldwing. If I need to run out to the grocery store for a few things, I can take my RX3 or our Ford Ranger pickup.

However, if I need to go out to an abandoned mine, this is the only thing that can get me there..... down the neighborhood street, onto US-95 for 20 miles and then onto the gravel road and eventually that old goat trail.

It doesn't matter that it can't keep up with a 300cc Ninja or climb rocks like an KLX. It takes me where I need or want to go, with proper planning.

MY RX3 is a specific tool that gets many things done for me and if running down the highway for 15 miles to get there, I am all in on this one.
