Dealers were great, a couple of little non mechanical problems, such as the wheel brace and jack handle missing, but replaced by the dealer.

On road it handles very well, but requires the knack to hustle it through corners like the boy racers, and excellent off road, often performing better then so called better models.

Easy

In many miles of road and off road work it has never broken down, failed an MOT, and has only had two anti roll bar drop links, and one off road damaged centre exhaust section.

Three doors for when young children were carried, and its ability to perform well on road, and superbly off road.
