I have a 332, and love it. It works like a charm and is a real animal. It does have one minor PITA that I wish JD would address. Pretty trivial, but not when your fingers are cold as ice cubes, it is getting dark, and the door bumped a log and is a tad tweaked. Here, then, is THE BIGGIE, and it occurs when you re-install a rear side door. If the folks at JD would make the door panels so that different parts of them engaged at different times, it would be good. As it is, you have to simultaneously have three corner "sandwich plates" lined up, as well as the slot over the upper pins. This is fine when new, but any tweaking of the door and it is not a great deal of fun to get the door back on. With a very slightly different design of the door's "sandwich plates", tabs (whatever you call them), one could engage one corner, then the next, etc, until the door fell into place. Small, small thing, but I'll bet a Toyota would have it sequential instead of simultaneous. Other than that one trivia detail, this is a nice machine so far (only 96 hrs....) and I'm glad I bought it. Thanks, JD; I know my next machine will be as I wish, and even have Shania Twain's autograph on it.
