WORKING AT EVO, YOU INEVITABLY SPEND a good portion of your time studying, driving or writing about cars at the higher end of the performance scale. So it can be refreshing to find yourself - as I have this month - with the key to something at the total opposite end of that spectrum. Especially when, like our Duster, it's a car that still has a lot going for it.
