Driving it

Great to drive. Auto gearbox is smooth and responsive. For a 2 tonne 4x4 it handles well ... comfortable taking corners with the best of them and motorway driving with the cruise control is a dream.

No problems, fitted with useful rear parking sensors to avoid any nasty scrapes to the back bumper.
