Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Engine is powerful but torque band is quite low down & runs out of puff quickly - steering direct but it does tend to roll in the corners - but this is a 2 tonne 4x4 so it won't handle like an everyday road car.
What's it like to park?
Its a big car but visibility is very good.

Oil seal between engine & gearbox was weeping so replaced by dealer in the first month (11 hour job!) - nothing else, very reliable car.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Heated windscreen - saves scraping the ice off.
